Laos or Vietnam to Yunnan and Eastern China

3-month tour - during the drier season in Laos and Yunnan. 90-day tour as China visas are limited to 90 days. Fly to Laos or Vietnam - Hanoi? Then use one of the limited cross borders into China. Yunnan is the preferred area.

Camping where possible. I have been to China several times - not cycle touring but have cycled in China. May be forced to use hotels if the local administration insists. I have very limited Mandarin!
