Hello everyone,

My wife and I are planning a long term (4+ month) period to spend in China. We will be coming in on Tourist (L) visas with 120 day entries. We would like to do the following:

1. Stay in a homestay somewhere in Southern China in a not-big city for a month
2. While there get a domestic driver's licenese (we have read about the nightmare of doing this)
3. While there buy a used van and put a stove/bed in it and drive around the country

We are trying to find out as much as we can about buying a used car in China. It looks like we can get a driver's license on a tourist visa, but I can't find out good info on buying/registering/insuring a vehicle.

Does anyone have experience with this? I am also curious about the option of getting a HK driver's license in HK (where we will enter from the US) and transferring it to a Chinese one, thus skipping the exam.

Thanks,
Matt
