Using Chinese licence abroad

[prince666]

I did not use a carnet. It was a real clusterfu#^. When I asked at the border, there was talk of needing a 通行证, but they told me I didn't need anything except my Chinese registration to get back in. This was at a really small border crossing, and they must not have had many people crossing with vehicles. Anyhow, getting back into China was a huge mess/wast of time. So, if you are planning to cross borders, get some sort of international carnet. From what I've hear, China doesn't really do those. But who knows, anythings possible.
