( alot of hidden charges pay by who?? like going expressway need pay more money, u refuse, they say go small route in village ) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzzme 3rd Gear June 19, 2021 Share June 19, 2021 China's remote regions have some stunning landscapes. A 4WD adventure would be a dream, especially for driving and photography enthusiasts. Check out this guy's YouTube channel (sorry its in Chinese only). Beautiful visuals and storytelling. Solo trips are done in normal SUVs...not those overlanding hardcore type. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
