We are not able to tell you exactly when the road will be closed, since it is based on the local weather conditions.
（2） The Tibetan Dance Party and/or Roasted Sheep Bonfire Party will be available in JiuZhaiGou but we cannot tell you if they will be on the first or second day because this is decided by the tour guide based on the preference of the whole group.
（3） This tour follows quite a tight schedule, with a long time spent on buses and in souvenir shops. You will go to bed late at night and have to wake up early in the morning.
（4） The weather can affect the intinerary; land slides occur during rainy season (July- Aug).
（5） On the last day, if the guide think there is enough time and most of the people in the group agree, then you will visit DuJiangYan.
（6） It is also possible to drop off from the bus and go by yourself if the group is not going.
（7） You can have a buffet lunch for Y40 at a restaurant in NuoRiLang by yourself. |
| 4. About the accommodation |
(1) During high season (summer and autumn), hotels near the entrance of JiuZhaiGou are quite busy and hard to book. You may stay in ChuangZhuSi or JiuZhaiGou town instead. From these places, it takes around 2 hours to drive to JiuZhaiGou Park, so you will have less time in the park.
(2) If you stay in ChuangZhuSi, there are only 3 star hotels. Even if you have paid for a 4 star hotel tour, you will have to stay in a 3 star hotel. |
