China
 

I have a trip next year across Europe, Turkey, Iran , the istans, Mongolia and Russia.
I have been told that it is really difficult to take a bike into China, that it takes a long time to organise and that you need an escourt.
Can anyone tell me if this is true? Id quite like to add a bit of China into my trip!

Yes that is true and that info is easily found online. Also check caravanistan.com
