Borders are open. June is the best month. You will need to only go thro a travel agency for China and it costs a bomb. If u can do it without a travel agency 100s are waiting to know details. Are you in India now ? Welcome to Gujarat n come over to my place.

Kayjay, do you know which border Nepal-China is open. We heard about 7 border crossings but have also read that the most used one Zhangmu border is still closed because of the earthquake last year.

Hello. I am also very interested in learning more about the border crossings into China.

If one possessed a valid 6-year Chinese drivers license (good for driving in all of China), is Chinese vehicle (motorcycle) insurance sufficient to cross the border into China? Specifically, an American with a 10 year visa, Chinese drivers license and a Honda Africa Twin (xrv750). (I prefer to avoid an escort and large group.)

Essentially, can licensed drivers bring non-registered motorcyles into China temporarily? I've read about temporary vehicle registrations but do not think temp. reg.'s apply in this case.

Thanks in advance for your prompt & detailed replyt.

China stopped all permanent used motor-vehicle import (legal) years ago. Temporary China import of an outside registered motor-vehicle is quite troublesome and reckon the same rules + regulations apply as for transiting "guided" individuals / groups as discussed at length all over the various HUBB threads. Lets face it, it is what it is and still involves ridicilous trouble / red tape getting into the motherland with any form of motor-vehicles and won't change anytime soon by my limited experience ~ sorry to say...

As mention in my other post earlier today, count yourself lucky holding a valid lengthy China travel visa and valid China d-license but reckon won't make a difference on temporary motor-vehicle import ~ residents in China (Foreigners with valid China Resident Permit / China Z Visa / D-license) would do it all the time if it was so easy... nuff said'....
