CHINA: THE MOTORCYCLE TRAVELLERS GUIDE

China has long been a destination that seemed distant and complicated for motorcycle travellers, but that is changing rapidly. Having ridden more than 16,000 kilometres through the country across three separate journeys, Emilio Salvatori and Christina Zoli have experienced first-hand what it takes to explore China from the saddle. In this feature, they share their experiences and practical advice on travelling independently, from permits and local regulations to navigation, technology, fuel and the everyday realities of riding through one of the world’ s most fascinating countries.
