Well, thanks for the info
We were scheduled(and paid for) a group of 7 bikers and 1 4WD to enter from Kyrgystan into Kashgar on 28th august. The new restrictions just introduced mean nobody can enter the province of Xinjiang AND then exit into a neighboring province within China.
So, we can now enter China as before on 28/09, exit into Mongolia, head to UB and try and get 2nd China visas, then leave via erenhot and head down to Laos, our original destination. A massive delay and extra distance to travel will make it hard, plus the rough roads wont help any
It is crummy, our whole lives were planned around this China entry, now we are all scattered aroud Central Asia with our heads spinning, those that know about the change, 3 people have not reponded to emails so have no inkling what is occurring!
But, we do what we can, our tour company is being a bit reticent about helping out, but I have just sent them some proposals that if they pull their finger out could mean we stick to original plan
Anyway, 5 days in UB sounds like no fun at all and will blow our time schedules out of the water, but it may be all we are left with
Cheers
TS
