SINGAPORE: A special contingent of 24 cars from China arrived in Singapore on Monday afternoon.

Their journey began from Guangxi province in southern China on 27th September.

The cars have travelled some 5,000 kilometres through Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Malaysia before reaching Singapore.

The drivers had taken part in a rally as part of the China-ASEAN International Touring Assembly.

This is a fringe event of the China-ASEAN Summit 2007, hosted by the Chinese government and the China State General Administration of Sport.

The fleet will be staying here for two days before returning to Guangxi. Two teams from Singapore will be joining the Chinese drivers on the return leg.
