The Tour of Guangxi (officially known as the GREE-Tour of Guangxi for sponsorship purposes) is an annual professional cycling race held in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.[1]

The men's race is a stage race and is part of the UCI World Tour.[2] The women's race is a one-day race and is part of the UCI Women's World Tour.[3] The event passes through a mix of metropolitan areas and countryside scenery.[4]

First held in 2017, the men's race is the second UCI World Tour race to be held in China, following the Tour of Beijing which was held between 2011 and 2014.[5] The women's race was first held in 2017, and joined the UCI Women's World Tour in 2018 - becoming the second event on the calendar held in China after Tour of Chongming Island.
