    Embark on a journey through two of Asia’s most fascinating countries. From Ulaanbaatar’s laid-back modern vibes to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. 


    We travel from north Asia through China’s capital city of Beijing, visit the great wall and the forbidden city. We will also visit some of China’s most famous grottoes and the ancient Chinese architectures. It will be necessary to cover the approximately 5,000 km to cross China.  


    We will in fact have the opportunity to see aspects of the great Chinese nation that are continuously different every day, with always very intense motorbike days. Vestiges of cities from various imperial eras and dynasties. The terracotta warriors. The giant Buddha of Leshan, a UNESCO heritage site, which took 90 years to sculpt. The Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center, perhaps the most important site in the world for ecology lovers. 


    Then the beautiful landscapes of Sichuan, with its crystalline lakes. And the Yunnan region, the richest in various ethnic groups, We will now be in a subtropical environment. The entry into Laos and the short stay will be part of the adventure. 


    Southeast Asia is a more than well-known tourist destination, but crossing it with our motorbike will be a completely different thing. Will the arrival in Bangkok therefore be just the beginning of a subsequent stage that will take us through the rest of Southeast Asia and the Indonesian archipelago to Australia?

    We have used "Ride China" to cross from Laos to Mongolia as part of our overland trip from Hobart to Helsinki. Our Guide Wang, did an outstanding job to insure that all our needs been taken care off. I have highly recommended this company to other riders I meet along the way. I also have to thank Jah, for all the assistance prior to our trip. You want to discover China on a bike, than this is the company you like to choose!, thanks for a job well done !

    We had a 33 day tour with Ride China in September and October 2017 and we rode from Mongolia through China to Laos. We found the owner Jah very helpful and responsive to our questions when we contacted him from Canada, throughout the process of preparing for the trip, and during the tour as well. Our tour leader Toni and our Driver Mr. Tang made our trip even more amazing and we would recommend them as a great team. We were very happy with the accommodation chosen for us. The food was incredible THANK you Mr Tang!!!!
