Hi all, Back in Sep 2009, AA Singapore organised a 23 days driving trip into Li Jiang, Yunan. I'm starting this thread to guage the interest level from like minded drivers here, looking to explore the possibility of driving our car into Yunan, China.. We will go slightly further than AAS...We will head into Kunming, to Li Jiang and into Shangri La.. Lijiang : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijiang,_Yunnan Shangri La : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhongdian You may ask, why Shangri La ? haha.. simply becos i been to both Li Jiang and Shangri La twice - i am familiar enough to bring fellow participants to the various place of interests.. How many days do we need ? and how much is the cost ? It probably going to take 3 weeks.. AAS took 23 days - we could skipped some of the places in Bangkok, Laos.. and the cost ? For the trip by AAS in 2009, each AA member has to pay $4,488 and there is a registration fee per car of $1,208... surely we dont need that much if we to plan the trip ourself.. I know in Li Jiang and Shangri La - lodging cost is only between S$20 to $30 for a decent, clean enough room.. as such, i dont think each person will have to come out with $4k plus for the trip.. . I know there will be alot of hurdles/problems/issues infront of us for planning such a trip. However, like AAS's slogan then -its a "Drive of a Lifetime!". if we could gather sufficient interests, we could make this driving trip a reality.. Below is the itinerary of AAS Drive of a Lifetime! Auto venture to China in 2009 There is a blog that document the trip : http://journeyofgreatdiscovery.wordpress.com/ Happy reading --------------------- Drive of a Lifetime! Auto-Venture
