From the author: "This video is an attempt at providing a glimpse into the challenging, exciting, and incredibly rewarding world of cycle touring.

The clips are from a Summer 2007 trip, about 4500kms from Kashgar, Xinjiang, to Dali, Yunnan (in China) crossing Tibet along the way."

I've never considered cross country myself, but this makes it look totally worth the effort, provided you keep an eye out for cows.
