This trip will cover approximately 100 km of cycling in 4 days and will also include two hygiene/sanitation volunteer projects at local schools and elderly centres along the way.

Prepare for:

• History: Explore China’s history and the magic of the unique Daolou buildings
• Nature: Escape away from the big city hassle to enjoy beautiful country scenes
• Impact: Pitch in to deliver much-needed soap and hygiene education to local schools​

For Soap Cycling, the trip has 4 main purposes:

• Fundraising: Anyone who can pay the cost for the trip can go, but we also ask parents and kids to raise a bit extra to help kickstart Soap Cycling’s China operations;
• Close the Loop: We want to provide an end-use experience for our reprocessed soap-let volunteers and students see up close the difference it can make;
• Education: As we are a student-run organization, this trip will be mostly organized and run by our student interns;
• Fun: Cycling is an awesome way to explore a new place!
