[quote=DODGER,439453]I have just come back from a road trip; driving from Beijing to Kashgar. Driving through eight different provinces for a total distance of just over 1100 km. Driving habits change from city to city. Expect to encounter anything on the road; sheep, donkeys, camels, cars coming the wrong way. Expect to find many different types of obstacles on the road; including holes that you would need climbing gear to get out of. Never ever drive at night; all the driver use high beam, if they bother to turn their light on Believe it or not, I found truck drivers the most courteous of all the road users. Especially in Xingjian. If you have had off road experience it will help as many of the minor roads are little more than dirt tracks. The new highways are however as good as you would find anywhere. If you do not speak good Chinese, have someone standing by on a help line; I did, and she saved my arse a couple of times. Cheers and good luck, Dodger. [/quote]
