Sounds like a great trip! I'd love to try jiangxi. Unfortunately i'd be working on the 29th so you won't be getting an escort, i only have weekends to ride.

The goajia is undoubtebly the best way to get out of town, even in suzhou. I use it every now and then on the sidecar, but generally avoid it on two wheels unless it's very early or very late. I was once driving my sidcecar on it when a police car pulled up alongside me, but all they did was wave with big grins and give me the thumbs up! Ah china....
