"A true rider views overcoming any terrain on their steel steeds as an honor, dismounting only when it's absolutely necessary. Whenever locals told us, ""You wouldn't make it,"" we pressed on. We found joy on frosty passes and in gloomy gorges. The vertiginous descent from the rocky slopes became a form of meditation for us.

What will you discover in the Chinese hinterlands, where tourists seldom tread? What perils might you face on the roads of China? Can you depend on the locals? How can you avoid common pitfalls while hiking in China?

Discover all this and more in this guide, which offers not only anecdotes but also comprehensive advice for cycling in Northern China.

Recommended for all adventure seekers and those who value first-hand experience of the country."
