Crossing Borders

Motorcycle tour through Vietnam,China and Laos.

This is a tour taking you to some very unique areas of Asia.
The Province of Yunnan  is without doubt one of the most  alluring destinations in China. It has the most varied terrain of all of China's provinces, ranging from tropical rainforest to snow-capped Tibetan peaks. and half of China's plant and animal species originates from here.

Yunnan is the sixth-largest province and home to a third of  China's ethnic minorities. There are 25 different ethnic minorities in the province, making it the most culturally diverse. This multiplicity of cultures has endowed the province with a rich heritage that is generously shares with all who come to visit. There is always something wonderful to see and do here.

The natural beauty of the Yunnan Province defies description. It has mountain ranges and glaciers that are snow-capped all year round. Deep virgin forests, lakes and hot springs, beautiful farmlands, mountain rivers and valley streams and a floral splendor that blooms throughout the year.
Yunnan is also known for its all year-round mild climate, its name means' South of the Clouds'. The provincial capital, Kunming is similarly referred to as the 'Spring City'. Until recent times most of Yunnan was not easily accessible as it was cut off from communication with the outside world by steep mountains. Many believe that the Shangri-la referred to in James Milton's Lost Horizons, was here in Yunnan. It now may be the last virgin land where one can observe cultures whose roots go back for thousands of years.
