Nowadays, those who can drive prefer self-driving tours when traveling. I have noticed that there are more road books for domestic scenic spots on Toutiao, while there are relatively few for foreign countries. As I have experienced self-driving tours in many countries, such as Australia and Thailand. These are all self-driving routes that I have personally taken and are relatively mature. Self-driving travelers who like them can use them directly. Therefore, I can introduce several road books for self-driving tours abroad for everyone. Today, I will first introduce the road book for a self-driving tour in the United States. If you are interested, you can bookmark or follow it to avoid not being able to find it when needed.
After three months of brewing, preparation and production, the road book for the self-driving tour in the United States has finally been completed. From determining the travelers; initially setting the travel plan; compiling the actual road book; preparing visa materials; booking flights to the United States; booking rental cars online; booking hotels online; filling out the DS-160 non-immigrant visa application form; paying the visa fee at China CITIC Bank; making an online appointment for the visa; going to the US Consulate in Shanghai for the visa, etc. This entire process is enough to make you extremely annoyed. The most feared thing is that some people have no idea where to start and have no clue. Therefore, I wanted to write an article on this issue to provide a reference post for those Chinese who want to travel to the United States, allowing more Chinese people to go to the United States and the world.
