Beijing to Kunming : A Commute to Work

[Pat]

Pre-ride Prep


I recently got an internship in Kunming, so after close to two years in Beijing I'm preparing to make the move south. Most importantly, the start date isn't until July, giving me enough time to make the commute! I've got roughly thirty days and am basically planning to head west to Qinghai, turn left, and then head south to Yunnan.

Here's what I'm roughly thinking for a route (I'd like to loop the lake in Qinghai, which I forgot to draw on the map):

I'm hoping to keep this thread updated as best I can as I make progress. My route is very much a work in progress - so any suggested roads, sites, or anything else would be great!

My lease is up in less than 48 hours, and I hope to be on the road shortly after that - so time to start packing!
