Both borders are not frequented by foreigners, so there is extra cost / red tapes.
XinJing is an unstable region of China, and we saw police and army carrying machine guns and batten in many towns. While most people were OK, we encounter quite afew unfriendly local Chinese, and a couple of nasty border army and police. I was a bit disappointed with the scenery. Overall, it is not worth the money or hassles. But I am only talking about XinJing region.
If you still want to travel to China, I would suggest you give Newland travel a try. Details as follow:

Thank you will have a look. Got over my annoyance at the costs.
