Living in Shanghai and owning a motorcycle is slightly untenable. If I move to another place in China, which do you guys suggest in order to get regular dirt riding(to improve/learn) and somewhere with mountains/trails. I'm considering enrolling in a small town university for Chinese lessons then I can buy and register bikes and will be close to nature.
. I've been over much of China and have a fair idea. I think kangding in Sichuan would be ace. It's isolated and has ingesting Tibetan culture plus is surrounded by 5,000 m+ mountains.

It looks like Beijing is awesome.. With the mountains to the north. I just think plating is not so convenient there.

Any thoughts?
