    tomc, MRY, & BrettC,
    Glad that you guys enjoying these contents. I shipped this Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider from San Francisco to Beijing, the only American entry last year. 8-day driving + 4-day sight seeing = 12-day epic trip. Mechanic on-site, luggage arranged hotel to hotel, all 5 stars. Taking off from the Great Wall, driving along the 2,500 years Grand Canal & small towns, quite a unique way to see China. Here is a CNN report on the 2015 event:

    Marvelous. Adventure of a lifetime. May I ask the story behind the photographs where there is what appears to be corn cobs along the road? Truck overturned? Drying the harvest?

    tomc,

    It's rural China, Oct harvest time. With limited resources, people share the backroads: cars, tricycle, bicycle even to use them to dry corn, grain, vegetable. The 400 photos & 3 videos captured the entire 9-day adventure.

    JSantro & Guys,

    Glad you like it! FYI, I had a great time last year & plan to lead a small USA delegation in Oct 9-21, 2017. It's quite an exclusive way to see China & networking.
    4C is co-funded by FIVA, see some remarkable participants below & is the leading motoring event in Asia. Just want to open the door to the Americas & happy to provide more details.
