Looking for buddies to cross China together - JUN 2014, enter from Kazakhstan
EDIT: Our plan has changed - now plan to enter from Torugart, Kyrgyzstan. Please see the latest Post.
Hi everbody,
I'm planning a trip from Europe to Hong Kong with my friends. We plan to depart western Europe before Easter 2014, then travel via Ukraine/Russia/Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan. After that, we plan to enter China from Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan at late May, travel for around 40 days (+/- a week) , and exit China at Shenzhen. Our preliminary route looks like this, crossing mainly the non-Han regions of China that are more difficult to reach by public transport:

To cross China with foreign vehicles, we will need to hire a guide and have the guide to pre-arrange a lot of permits and paperworks for the drivers and the cars. This overhead cost is huge (EDIT: about 75000 RMB), but it is for the entire group. If there's more vehicles in the group, the average cost per vehicle would be cheaper.
There is 1 car (2 people, myself and my friend) and 1-2 motorbike in the group currently. And we are very happy if more cars or bikes can join our trip through China to share the cost and have more fun
Cheers
Albert
