Advices for Car Trips through China
23. Chinese car drivers treat each other with respect, but the same cannot be said about their attitude to pedestrians and drivers of the two-wheeled transport. Local drivers are not distinguished by aggression, they simply do not take cyclists and pedestrians seriously.
24. The deficit of parking spaces, that is so usual in literally all large cities of the world, can be noticed in China as well. In some cities, you can leave the car right on the street. In this case, it is allowed to park the car only in direction of motion. It is not recommended to leave the car in fist convenient place. Many streets have special parking zones that are usually marked by a solid line.
25. As a rule, the most intense traffic can be found in trading areas of cities. Here the number of cars and other vehicles is simply incredible. Only experienced local residents are able to find a parking space in a shopping area, so visitors are recommended to find parking in the nearest convenient area.
Renting a Car in China - Recommendations
If you need a car with an automatic transmission, it is recommended to book it in advance. Cars with automatic transmissions are often sparse in China, so the rental confirmation may take a longer period.
When selecting a specific model for traveling throughout China, we recommend to take into consideration some practical apects. If you are going to drive mostly in the cities, then a car of a small size is preferable, while for long distance trips (and trips in the mountains) we recommend to choose a larger and more powerful car.
Prior your car retrun, please clean the salon from a garbage, and do not forget to take away all your belongings from the passenger compartment.
At the car return time, please ask the officer to make a visual inspection of the vehicle for defects and to sign the acceptance report. Keep the invoice and the acceptance report for next few months.

27. Many local rules may look rather unusual for foreign drivers. In China, it is prohibited to drive the car if you’re wearing flip-flops. According to experts, uncomfortable shoes often become the reason for traffic accidents.
28. In China, there are several true road attractions that curious travelers are definitely recommended to visit. The cable-stayed bridge that connects the peninsula of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island is one of them. This bridge is the second largest bridge in the world, so all drivers will surely enjoy a ride on it.
29. The southern part of the country is the location of another grand bridge, which is currently under construction. The bridge will connect Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau. The total length of the bridge will be 50 km, 35 km of which will be built over the sea.
31. The Hong Kong Trail remains the most famous and attractive route for travelers. The length of this road is only 30 miles, and it is laid on four incredibly beautiful national parks of Hong Kong Island. During a ride there, motorists will see landscapes of incredible beauty.
32. Despite the fact that the length of the Hong Kong trail is relatively small, it is very hard to overcome it in one day. The road has many sharp turns and is quite complicated, so drivers are recommended not to hurry, and instead of this enjoy the splendor of the local nature.
33. It is also worth noting that there are many special areas for tourists along the road. These are the places where tourists can have rest or where they can install a tent. In the evening and at night, some sections of the road feature simply stunning panoramic view of the island.
