This route establishes a repeatable coast to border crossing of China, beginning at Nanhuizui Guanhai Park on the East China Sea and finishing at Khorgos Port of Entry on China’s western border with Kazakhstan.

The wild beauty and remote magnificence of Guy Fawkes National Park, is a reputation well earnt. Having heard of its legendary isolation and challenging navigation from the outdoors community, I decided to experience it for myself in 2023 and then again in 2026.
