I went to CCB this morning, they'd never heard of it, said no problem. Good, because that's where my salary ends up.
Then I went to CMB and they seemed to know about "二代身份证明". They said my account didn't need it but they put my driver's licence on file anyway because it would make matters more convenient for me in the future.
I guess that foreigners may lose/change their passports some time and then get locked out of their accounts for good, and this is a way to mitigate this. But freezing their accounts if they fail to provide secondary ID is a bit harsh. I'm curious to find out more about this whole thing.

发布者At any rate, you cannot go in the winter (closed pass) and summer is rainy season.
Myanmar to Tibet: Hiking the Dulong, part I
发布者Changkt: given the extreme variation in climate along the river, it's hard to say. We ourselves asked around before going and learned that October is the best month to go, but when we were in the northern end (you'll have to wait for part two), we learned from locals that May is a lot better.
I think they may be right about that: after all, the more interesting part is the northern trail and warmer temperatures and less rain would've been nice. The southern part may be very hot by then, but I guess that still beats rain and cold.
