[quote=JABAROOTOO ,15198]Hey Rita I guess he'll have two feet at least.Just to encourage you. Summer of 2004 we met a young man from Shanghai who was cycling to Kashgar in Xinjiang. We met him in Jiayuguan Gansu. He was travelling light and rough but having the expereince of a lifetime.From Tibet to Beijing would be a similar epic and I'm not sure how easy it would be to go via the Three Gorges as the road does not travel along the river banks but ducks away in quite circuitous detours.I read a blog somewhere online recently about some guys and one girl who cycled across Tibet into Nepal or India when it was harder for foreigners to get around and they had some 'fun' but certainly survived to tell thier story. Do a search and see what you can find.However you could alternate between a variety of transport and still make the 'Guiness book of records' for the most milage on foot across China except maybe that of Mao's Red Army. You may not top that but if he could take his army through China on foot then so can you.Good luck and don't forget to write us when you get done.[/quote]
