If I want to travel through China in my own vehicle, what kind of permits and documents do I need?

Andree, it's too difficult for you to bring your own vehicle and drive it for your trip. First, you need to have a Chinese driver license. In order to get this, you need to join the tests for Chinese drivers. It's very difficult if you can't understand Chinese because all tests are written in Chinese.

Then you need to contact a Chinese travel agency to help you handle the procedure to bring your vehicle into China. Of course, you need their help to acquire the temporary license plate. It's very complicated.

I think you can go through the test to acquire a Chinese driver license and then rent a car to have your trip. This sounds easier and more applicable.
