What the Stone Becomes

Special Notes

Due to weather conditions and reservation availability, departure dates, transportation schedules, and alternative arrangements will be confirmed in writing with your booking.

• Booking & Itinerary Confirmation — This tour can be booked by travel date. The specific Yangshuo consecutive-night hotel and the exact morning stop in Guilin on Day 8 will be listed in the written quotation; the guide and vehicle for that day are included in the itinerary.
• December departures — Bookings for December are available. The Zhangjiajie ropeway, Bailong Elevator, cliff-top walkways, and glass bridges may be affected by high winds, ice, or maintenance; the Li River bamboo rafts are also subject to water levels. We will verify operating status based on your travel dates and list feasible itineraries and alternatives in our quote.
• Departure dates — During the National Day holiday from October 1st to 7th, this tour does not have scheduled departures. If you plan to travel during this period, we will verify transportation, accommodation, and attraction capacity for your preferred dates before proposing a feasible itinerary.
• Visa window — This itinerary spans 15 days. Entry eligibility must be verified case by case based on your passport, entry date, and total stay duration in China; if a visa is required, please allow sufficient processing time before confirming your booking.
• US passports — Guests with U.S. passports are also welcome to inquire. Eligibility for entry on 15-day itineraries cannot be assumed under short-term transit policies alone; we verify each case individually based on passport, visa, or other applicable conditions, along with your departure flight from Shenzhen.
• The glass bridge is never compulsory — a solid floor path runs beside the glass span for its whole length. Walking the solid path costs nothing extra and takes nothing off the price. This route is not sold on the strength of the glass span.
• Shanghai Museum reservation — Admission is included in the base price, but timed entry reservations are required. Please refer to your booking confirmation for specific entry times. If no slots are available on your selected date, we will coordinate an alternative arrangement before your trip.
• Macaques on the Golden Whip Stream — wild macaques on this section take food from open hands and open bags. Your guide states the on-site rules before the group sets off, and food stays in closed bags on that walk.
• Weather alternatives in Zhangjiajie — when weather or an equipment stoppage puts the group on an alternative route, every cost on that route is borne by us and never charged to you on the spot. That includes admission, cableway and transfer. Where the alternative costs less than the original item, the difference is not refunded.
• Number of Nights — 14 nights total: 3 nights in Shanghai, 3 in Zhangjiajie, 1 in Guilin, 5 in Yangshuo, and 2 in Shenzhen. Specific hotels and room types are subject to the written quotation.
• Confirmation and changes — This itinerary includes one domestic flight and two high-speed rail segments. Any changes may affect your airfare, train tickets, and hotel reservations. Please refer to your written quotation and booking terms for the specific confirmation deadlines and refund or change policies.
• Travel Accident Insurance — Coverage for travel accident insurance and its sum assured shall be subject to your written quote; any insurance not explicitly listed is not included.
