can i travel overland from dunhuang to lhasa in my own vehicle?

Question

Obviously the critical point is the border crossing into the province of Tibet. When I obtained the residency card I was told I enjoy all benefits of Chinese citizens except voting - so I would expect that travel restrictions to foreigners don't apply to me. During my travels I experienced often that even officals at check points don't know what the residency permit entitles me to.How can I make sure in advance the border officials let me cross into Tibet?

Hi, there should be no travel restrictions to Tibet if you have a Chinese residency card. However, in most places, especially small places, the officials may not be familiar with the regulations.  So you can contact the local government in advance.
