Check out the 5 minute trailer of our 146 day motorcycle ride around China! We've got plenty of amazing views, scary traffic jams, and precarious cliff-side roads after almost 5 months on the road, and this just scratches the service.

Well, this is it. The last post of the trip! Officially we've been off the road for a week now. It's been a very busy week, moving into an apartment, applying for the Guinness record, and catching up with friends who we hadn't seen in nearly half a year. The last few days into Beijing were by no means easy though. We hit some of the coldest weather since Tibet, strongest winds since Urumqi, and boatloads of trucks.

Heading back north now through central/eastern China before heading over to the coast. Pollution in eastern China during the winter can be especially harsh, giving us the wrong kind of fuzzy feeling inside when thinking about heading back to Beijing. A nice reunion with a motorcycle club in Shandong helps to take our mind off of it though!

Busy couple of days but not much distance covered. We do two fund raising presentations, one in Hangzhou and one in Shanghai with a little bit of a break for Thanksgiving festivities in between. This, at least for us mentally, marks the beginning of the last leg of the trip for us.

Entering the final stage of our motorcycle ride through every province in China getting back into familiar territory on the east coast, most notably the place where we first made our pitch to CFMoto trying to get them on board with our project.

So much to see in this area and so little time! We pass through the Ancient Phoenix City for a morning stroll and then another couple hundred kilometers onward we pass through the Zhangjiajie National Park where we visit the famous Tianzi Mountains, inspiration for the Hallelujah Mountains from Avatar.

High concentration of scenic areas and tourist attractions in this area. Nothing beats the mountains of Guilin though! Traveler's tips in this post for things to do when visiting Guilin and Yangshuo county.

3 days off at the beach in Sanya but we are kept busy as we participate in fundraising events with the hotel and Free Lunch for Children. We also meet with some of the local press talking about our trip and our charitable efforts. All in all, managed to raise nearly RMB40,000 to go towards school lunches in rural China!

In three days we go through 3 different provinces, experience drastic changes in climate, and our luck with our broken luggage rack both falls short and holds up.

We've now passed 100 days on the road! 100 days since we left from Beijing, in the heat of summer to our first destination in Chengde. So of course to celebrate there's rain, mud, a broken luggage rack, and spectacular mountain scenery!
