Whether you are visiting which city or joining which itinerary, we have taken care of every detail for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
I. Pre-Departure Preparation & Documents
Passport & Visa: Please ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned return date, and that you have obtained a valid Chinese tourist visa (L visa) or meet visa-exemption requirements. Keep your passport with you at all times – do not pack it in checked luggage.
Flight Confirmation: Please double-check your international flight details. We have already arranged all domestic flights and high-speed train tickets (if included in your itinerary). Your guide will provide you with physical tickets or help you use your passport to pass through the gates.
Health & Insurance: We have already purchased Travel Liability Insurance for you as required by law. However, we strongly recommend that you also purchase your own personal travel insurance covering medical expenses, trip delay, lost baggage, etc. If you have any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, halal, gluten-free), please inform us at least 7 days before departure.
Currency & Payment:
The official currency is Renminbi (RMB / CNY). We suggest exchanging about 2,000–3,000 RMB in cash for small expenses (snacks, souvenirs, tips, etc.).
Credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are accepted in large cities and high‑end malls, but not everywhere. Alipay and WeChat Pay are extremely convenient. You may try to download and link your international credit card before departure, or ask your guide for assistance.
Packing Suggestions:
Clothing: Prepare according to the season and destinations. Summers are hot & humid, winters cold & dry, spring/autumn have large day‑night temperature differences. Layered clothing and a light jacket are recommended. When visiting temples or religious sites, dress modestly (no bare shoulders or knees). Comfortable walking/hiking shoes are essential (many tours include ancient cities, mountain paths, or cobblestone lanes).
Personal items: Toiletries (some hotels may not provide full disposable sets), slippers, personal medications, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, umbrella/raincoat.
Electronics: Power plug adapter (China standard: two flat pins, 220V – many hotels can lend you one or have universal sockets), power bank (max 27,000mAh, must be carried in hand luggage).
II. Itinerary & Transportation
Airport/Station Transfers: Upon arrival, our guide will wait for you at the exit holding a sign with your name or the tour code/product name. Please look for it.

For domestic flights, checked baggage is usually limited to 20 kg, and carry‑on to 7 kg. Do not carry lighters, liquids over 100ml, or other prohibited items.

IV. Sightseeing & Cultural Tips
World Heritage & Cultural Relics: When visiting sites such as the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Mogao Caves (depending on your itinerary), do not touch the relics, climb on ancient structures, or take photos in restricted areas. Follow site rules and respect the environment.
Special Activities: If your itinerary includes a workshop, cycling, show, etc., follow the instructor’s guidance and put safety first. If you prefer not to join an activity, please let your guide know.
Temples & Religious Sites: Remove your hat when entering main halls and keep your voice low. Ask permission before photographing Buddha statues.

Tipping Customs: China is not a tipping‑required country. However, if you wish to show appreciation for excellent service, you are welcome to tip voluntarily at your own discretion.
V. Health & Safety
Air Quality: Some northern cities (especially in winter) may experience smog or haze. If you have respiratory sensitivities, we suggest carrying an N95 mask.
