3. About the Itinerary
|
(1) If your flight is in the morning, you will follow the above time schedule. If your flight is in the afternoon, on the first day you will go shopping, then move to JiuZhaiGou; you will spend the second day in JiuZhaiGou Park, visit HuangLong on the morning of the third day and then return to Chengdu. If your flight is very early in the morning (for example 7:00am), there will be enough time to visit JiuZhaiGou Park on the first day, so some guides may take you there.
(2) If you apply for this tour in advance by e-mail, we will usually let you know the flight departure time when you have arrived at the hostel. If you need to know before you arrive, please e-mail us again a few days before your flight, and we will be able to phone the tour company and find out the exact departure time.
(3) We are not normally able to book specific flight times, since the tour company chooses the flights based on the requests of the whole group. Please let us know if your itinerary is very tight and we can discuss the schedule in more detail.
(4) In winter season (normally from November to April), the road to HuangLong will freeze over and the big sight-seeing bus will not be able to pass. Instead, you will visit MuNiGou Valley. We are not able to tell you exactly when the road will be closed, since it is based on the local weather conditions.
(5) 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.
(6) In high season, the flights are very busy and we may not be able to book popular flight times. Sometimes this tour departs very early in the morning or late in the afternoon, around 16:00pm.
(7) The airport is on a plateau, so flights are often delayed by the weather. Please be aware of this if you are on a tight time schedule. |
4. About the hotels
|
(1) The hotel star standards vary depending on the city. For example, the equivalent rated hotels are better in Chengdu than in Jiuzhaigou, while the ones in Jiuzhaigou are better than in Chuanzhusi.
(2) 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.
(3) If you join this tour, you pay for 4 star hotels; there is no other choice. If you have to stay in ChuangZhuSi, there are only 3 star hotels. Even though you have paid for a 4 star hotel tour, you will have to stay in a 3 star hotel. |
5. Cancellation and change policy
|
| If you cancel due to personal reasons, we will deduct the cancellation fee from your deposit and refund the rest. The cancellation fee is based on the actual cost of arrangement. |
(1) If your cancellation reaches us before 11:00am, 10 days before of the beginning of the trip and before issuing the air ticket, we won't charge you any cancellation fee.
(2) If your cancellation reaches us after 11:00am, 10 days before of the beginning of the trip, we will charge you based on the actual cost of arrangement, such as air tickets and so on.
(3) If your change application reaches us before 11:00am, 10 days before of the beginning of the trip:
● You can change the date of the trip one time at no extra cost.
● We will not return your money if you want to cancel the trip after the change.
(4) If your change application reaches us after 11:00am, 10 days before of the beginning of the trip, the fee will depend on how much the changes cost to arrange. It may not be possible to make the changes you request.
