The course itself is also a highlight of the event, offering both challenges and opportunities with 13 bridge arches and several tricky turns, passing by notable urban landmarks such as Sihang Warehouse, Shanghai Head Post Office, and Shanghai Rowing Club.

Furthermore, two outdoor viewing points have been set along the Suzhou Creek — the Cherry Blossom Valley viewing point and the Bellagio Shanghai riverside viewing point. Citizens can reserve their spots at these locations through the event's official WeChat mini-program. The reservation channel is now officially open.
