Crossing the border into China - Requirements
I have been reading the forum in the past few days regarding entering China by land on a bike and I see sometimes what seems conflicting information. If you do not mind, I would like to try getting most answers sorted out in one thread.
Basically what are the requirements for both the person, and the bike?
* Registration - foreign registered bike is ok?
* Driving license - foreign and international are ok? Or do I need to get a Chinese license, as I read in other posts?
* Cross the border riding, can I? I read somewhere suggestions about getting the bike on a truck for the border crossing.
* Traveling across China - Are permits needed from each province?
* Guide/escort - I read somewhere that I need to hire a guide/escort to go with us for the lenght of the trip. Is this real?
* Insurance - what is required?
And please comment on any other matter that I forgot about.
Thanks.
Howard
