China, Tibet - The closest place to heaven & closer to God

My souvenir





Home stretch





One the airplane heading home, my memories of Yunnan & Tibet flash backed and it was like a dream. So near yet so far......



A wise man once said:
How convenient to find the place where nither future nor past can ever come because then, you are in the place where you can truly rejoice.


Thank you for reading my ride report. I hope you find joy and peace reading it.


Tomorrow, I am heading for Inner Mongolia in search of beauty of this world. Wish me luck.

I can only say to you a BIg Thank you for shering your ride report!!!

I love it!!!!!

Excellent

I have found much peace and joy in your report. Many miles of safe travel to you my friend. Like many people who post their journies on this site, you are a window into another world besides my own and I am richer for it.

Frankie,

Speechless !:eek1

Speachless. Envious. Amazed.

My bucket list just got bigger.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this.

Awesum report. Pictures just so fantastic. I think I'll start from the beginning and read the whole thing again. Just in case I missed something. ;-) Thanks for all the time and work to share this beauty and information with us that will never go there except through people like you.

where did my post go? I just asked if the Tibetans and Uighar had the same freedom to buy a motorcycle and ride into China and abroad?

Fantabulous Photography!.I never saw Nan bread look so good!

One heck of a RR! Good job.

Hi Franki,

I am a chinese from Singapore. Used to hear lots of negative experiences of others about the great China. But your RR has changed my view TOTALLY. Your skill of photograpy, riding off-road and story telling is a rare gem. Just want to say a 'big' thank you for bring us to places. If you come by Singapore, do let me know, Singapore may not be big enough for bike touring but we have lots of food to be tasted.

Ride safe and ride abundantly!

Hi David,

I am glad that you like my RR. I think you need to come see yourself how China is then form your own opinion. We hear a lot of negative reports about others too but I always look at both side of a corn.

I have visited Singapore a few time on my way to your back garden - Malaysia and I love the delicious food there. Especially the chicken rice and curry fish head

You are also welcomed to HK, may be not for bike touring but the foos is as famous as your country.

Cheers,

Franki

Hi franki,

Absolutely incredible. My horizons just got bigger. You, sir, are an inspiration.

Cheers,

Nan bread from Xinjiang not only taste good. I also use it in my survival kit. It will keep for a week without turning bad

Hey Franki! I got a nice surprise today - this RR of yours. I'm up to page 4 already so have something nice to look forward with your excellent descriptions and photos. China's policies (bad) on travel still keep it in the exotica category (Good). Thanks

Great RR. China and Tibet are on my bucket list.

Seeya some day on the road brother

Franki,

I sure am hoping for the opportunity to meet you in person here in China someday. Keep the pictures coming and travel safe. Let the homeboys in China know when you get home.

Here I sit and ponder this bike or that bike... blah blah blah when in fact I should just get "a" bike and get out and RIDE.

I didnt think your photos could get any better but you keep inspiring us to get off our backside and ride to new places.

Fantastic photos, thank you for taking the time to share all of them with us.
Safe riding

If there is a will, there is a way

Thanks, see ya on the road
