Thanks for sharing the pics and route.

Unfortunately Pingu is still 3 hours from Tianjin - or should I say "fortunately just..."? Not sure what else is around here, yet.
You guys didn't have any problems riding the jingping exwy? How to know which toll roads they let you enter, you just try and see what happens?

Regarding the "sticky ropes" repair kit, do you have a taobao link for this (if this is available here)?
