What’s not included unless specifically arranged are international flights, travel insurance, visa fees, meals not specified in the itinerary, and personal expenses or tips.

Yes, China is generally very safe for international visitors. Like in any country, staying aware of your surroundings and following local advice will help ensure a trouble-free experience. Our team is always available to support you throughout your journey.

Travel insurance is not included in our tour packages. However, we strongly recommend that all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance before their trip. This should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other unexpected events.

Having insurance ensures peace of mind so you can enjoy your journey with confidence. If you need advice on suitable insurance providers, we’re happy to help.

China is largely a cashless society, with mobile payments like WeChat Pay and Alipay being the most popular and widely accepted methods—even for street vendors and taxis. Credit and debit cards are accepted in many hotels, restaurants, and larger stores, but smaller businesses may prefer mobile payments or cash.

Carrying some cash (Chinese Yuan) is still useful for occasional situations where digital payments aren’t accepted. We recommend setting up mobile payment options before your trip or asking your guide for help.

Certainly. We tailor tours to meet the needs of families with children, elderly travelers, or those with mobility concerns. Let us know your requirements, and we’ll ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

No problem. Let us know in advance and we’ll make every effort to accommodate your dietary needs, whether you are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have specific allergies.

We offer a range of accommodation options, from boutique hotels and traditional courtyard guesthouses to luxury resorts. You can choose the level of comfort that suits you best.

Tourist (L) Visa
If you’re not eligible for visa-free entry or transit, you’ll need to apply for a standard tourist (L) visa through your local Chinese embassy or consulate. This usually requires a passport valid for at least 6 months, flight and hotel bookings, and sometimes a letter of invitation.

30-Day Visa-Free Entry

China allows visitors from certain countries to enter visa-free for stays of up to 30 days for tourism, business, or family visits.

240-Hour Visa-Free Transit

If you're from one of 55 eligible countries and transiting through China (e.g. airports such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu) to a third country, you can stay in designated regions for up to 240 hours without a visa.

Visa policies are subject to change. Please consult your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate, or check official government websites, for the latest requirements before making travel arrangements.
