Hey there, I'm another Shenzhener, and yes in Shekou most expats can get away with driving around, as long as you don't go past the Shekou Walmart they shouldn't give you trouble (unless there's a crackdown or something important happening).

I've been wondering about the trailer thing myself as I do own a small car and I have a few bikes, it'd be perfect if I could tow them out of the city limits to go hit the dirt... Anyone have any ideas on trailers? Like Crazycarl said, I've never seen one in China.. leading me to believe that they are yet another banned thing (although imagine what nonsense the locals would pile up in a trailer.. so it's understandable).

Anyone have any insight on the whole trailer thing? Tow bar installation?
