Bicycle travel · Mongolia

Hello, I’m 72 years old and I’m flying to Beijing from Rome on March 26th. My return is planned for May 11th from Ulaanbaatar to Frankfurt. I’m thinking of buying a cheap bike in Beijing and riding to Hohhot, stopping to see the Great Wall of China along the way. From Hohhot, I’ll take the train to cross the border and get off at Sainshand in Mongolia, then continue to Ulaanbaatar. Can anyone give me some tips? Thanks! Gérald

Hi there, we’ve been traveling by bike for a year now on the beautiful roads of our amazing planet. We’re currently in Vietnam. After a little 4-month loop through Southeast Asia, we’ll head to Japan and then on to China (which we already crossed in October and November).

Here’s our question: have any of you, or do you know if it’s possible to bike the few thousand kilometers between Beijing and Ulaanbaatar? Is the route allowed by Chinese authorities, who are so welcoming?!

Thanks for your replies! Elise and Brice Our site: http://petitshommesdumonde.free.fr
