Motorcycle Tour
Ten motorcycle enthusiasts were chosen from a pool of volunteer applicants that joined three ZPP employees for this motorcycle trip. Over the 45 day long tour, the riders will start the 5,300 km long trip in Chongqing and visit cities and townships in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei provinces and end the trip in Chongqing.
Each rider is tasked with a specific responsibility such as performing on-road repair maintenance, blogging, and monitoring the performance of the motorcycles. They are also participating in a series of local promotional campaigns aimed at showcasing the Zongshen brand and motorcycles. The Company will provide for accommodation and logistical support for the entire trip.
