From the gravel deserts of Xinjiang to the rice terraces of southern Yunnan, this 22-day self-drive journey takes you across China from Kyrgyzstan to Laos. After entering near Kashgar, you’ll drive east to Turpan, where underground channels bring water to vineyards beneath the bare red slopes of the Flaming Mountains. At Dunhuang, step inside the Mogao Caves to see Buddhist murals, then walk among the dunes surrounding Crescent Moon Spring.
Beyond Zhangye’s colourful Danxia hills, the road crosses the Qilian Mountains before continuing to Xi’an, home of the Terracotta Army. Chengdu offers a full day away from the wheel: sip jasmine tea in People’s Park, wander through the courtyards of Kuanzhai Alley and follow the lantern-lit shopfronts along Jinli Ancient Street.
Further south, a full day in Yuanyang gives you time to see how the light changes across the Hani rice terraces from sunrise to sunset. The final drive descends into tropical Xishuangbanna before you cross into Laos at Mohan.
