Accommodation & meals
Discuss four-star-class hotels in cities, with proposed properties and room types listed in the quote. Mountain and lakeside areas may lack equivalent facilities; check heating, hot water and private bathrooms. Official star certification and agency class assessments are distinct.
Meal entries are proposed arrangements: hotel breakfasts and local or Chinese lunches and dinners, with simple alternatives when visits require. Discuss spice, vegetarian needs and allergies in advance; complete allergen exclusion may not be possible.
Prices & inclusions
Pricing depends on dates, party size, rooms, transport and guide language. Request a CNY base quote with indicative USD or JPY equivalents. Agree settlement currency, rate and fees separately; unverified fixed prices and availability are not claimed.
- Confirm in the quote: local guide, vehicle, stays, listed meals, site admissions and agreed transfers.
- Check separately: international and domestic flights, trains, single-room supplements, free meals, insurance, personal costs and changes.
Before you book
Check Chinese entry and local access requirements for your documents. Weather, roads and site openings may change visit order or stops. Rest takes priority at altitude; do not ascend while unwell. Confirm group numbers and guide language for each departure and read booking and cancellation terms before payment.
