... Agencies must arrange tour guides to follow the entire trip. No individual trip is allowed...

So does that most recent official announcement from the Public Security, Foreign Affairs and the National Tourism Administration mean we're back the square one, wrt escorts and the indi-travel loop hole has been closed?
Less docs means maybe weeks not months to organise, but as Wolfi asks, will tour agency prices drop accordingly?

Well - reads everything back to group tours as shady tour operators must have stepped on some toes recently.
Haven't really looked fully into current requirements and procedures as doesn't affect riding motorbikes as a resident with a fully legal China registered bikes and required documents (driving license / visa / insurance).

Well at least the rules seems to be moving in the right direction, officially that is. I'm planning a trip through China in early 2016 so was happy to hear some clarification to the rules. I'll be checking now with some tour operators to see if their costs have been updated

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any more recent info in regard to self driving/riding across China?
It was sensational hearing that it was done, then it was like a kick in the teeth a month or so later.
I am trying to organize to overland through China from either Laos or Vietnam, to be able to continue my trip through Mongolia in Russia.
Regards...

Reviving this thread .. hoping that one of the 10k viewers may be able to answer the following question:
If a non-Chinese citizen (American), holding a valid six-year Chinese drivers license wanted to cross into China on an American-registered Honda Africa Twin (XRV750), what is required to bring the motorcycle into China temporarily for several months?
Thanks in advance!
David

I am sure HU has more experienced and qualified China travel advisors to chime in shortly but personally reckon the same rules as for regular motor-vehicle tour groups / individuals apply for transiting through China with an outside registered motorbike (USA registration). Your just lucky to be able to skip the China d-license issue as a holder of a valid six year license.... nuff said'....
