Hi Ma Rek!

From what I've sourced the only possible on land point of entry for foreigners is the chinese border crossing at Ruili which can be used only for entering the country (not for leaving it..) and still you need to book a special tour (with group, guide..) for that so the option to cross as individual is highly problematic.. anyway, situation might have changed and may change even further.

I am planning to cycle through India to Burma (or through China to Burma) and further down SE by bike, but so far Burma proves to be a bit of connundrum (if you don't want to fly). Perhaps you could track down those motorcyclists and find out more?

cheers*
