We are planning on arriving in China in late February in Yunnan provence then into Sichuan, Tibet and Xinjing. Leaving China via Kashgar. I know the weather will be cold when we start but I expect that if it is very cold we'll just stop and settle down for a while until it warms up again.

Given that we have our own bike and we want to temporarily import it into China without paying for a guide any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
