Ludwig and his travel partner Michael push through relentless rain on a motorcycle journey across China, aiming for the border town of Erenhot—famous for its kissing dinosaur statues. After losing their way on Highway 207, they end up in Gongen, where the weather and bad bread take a toll. A ferry crossing sneaks them into Jingzhou, but food poisoning hits both of them hard. Ludwig manages to buy bread and an electrolyte drink from a cigarette seller, hoping to recover enough to keep riding. The day ends with exhaustion, nausea, and uncertainty about whether the trip can continue.
On a rain-soaked motorcycle adventure across China, Ludwig and his friend Michael encounter unexpected hurdles—lost highways, a goat stampede, a sneaky ferry crossing—and a brutal case of food poisoning that puts their entire tip-to-tip journey at risk. Will a mysterious bakery loaf and a desperate dash for medicine keep their dream alive?
Ludwig and Michael tackle rain, lost highways, a goat jam, and a secret ferry across China—then face a food poisoning crisis that threatens their whole ride.
Tip-to-Tip China Motorcycle: Rain, Ferries & Food Poisoning
1:40 Erenhot is the only cool border town between Mongolia and China, featuring dinosaur statues. Make it your destination to claim a tip-to-tip crossing.
10:59 When blocked by a river in Jingzhou, look for a local ferry that carries motorcycles across—it's a workaround cars can't use.
20:17 After a long, cold ride, your brain can shut down at the hotel. Carry pre-packaged snacks and water to avoid hunger-induced confusion at check-in.
23:35 If you suspect food poisoning, ask a local cigarette seller for bread and an electrolyte drink—it's a quick fix when pharmacies are closed.

It tasted like dirt, and we think it gave us food poisoning—Michael threw up, and I got sick too.
How did you cross the river into Jingzhou?
We took a ferry! It felt like sneaking into the city, and it was the only way for motorcycles since cars couldn't use it.
What was the goat situation?
Around 100 goats crossed the road without warning right outside the city, holding me up for 10 minutes.
Did you ever find the 207 highway again?
We lost it badly, ended up in Gongen, and had to backtrack. It was a huge setback.
