Construction work on the country's first elevated bicycle path has been finished in Xiamen, East China's Fujian Province, just before Spring Festival on Jan 27.

The path, built beneath a bus lane, provides easy access to bus stations, BRT stations, overpasses and buildings along the 7.6-kilometer route.

The elevated path is about 2.5 meters wide, and the highest elevated section is 5 meters above the ground.

The path is exclusively for bicycles, and electric bikes and other vehicles are prohibited.
