You might want to look at what details you need to get a visa if your going to Xinjiang.

We have to get a letter of Invitation from someone living in Xinjiang to get a visa for Xinjiang.Not a problem just a inconvenience.

I never had to do that before.

Apparently the rest of China except Tebit and Xinjiang is OK.

Might be an interesting year in Xinjiang and tebit.
