Hotel

We will be staying in various hotels while we travel and they are generally good with a 3 Star standard, however, hotel with same rating may sometimes vary in conditions and standard of service depending on the city or town. we sometimes get good deals on 4 star hotels and in which case we will reserve the best standard we can get with our budget.

Please also note that hotels or accommodations when we visit small towns, on mountains or old town such as Wudang, Phoenix or even Zhang Jia jie etc will be basic since they are in the less affluent part of China, and good hotels are far and few between and could be rediculously expensive. However we try our best to find high qualtiy hotels that is available.

China is a vast country and getting from one place to another could mean a 2 thousand miles journey, the most effective way to travel is by train. During our trip in China, we will be making a few train journeys and they are usually 10-20 hours trip. We will stay in overnight sleeper cabins with 4 or 6 berths in 2 or 3 levels each cabin. they are no camparison to hotels but generally comfortable and clean. Also it is a great experience for people who want to know the real China and see the real countryside along the way.

We will inform our delegates of the condition of the hotels in advance.

Coach Journey

Within a city or town, we usually travel by air-conditioned coach transfering from one attraction to another. On the free days or afternoons, there will be no transport for free acitivites, but taxi are very convenient and at a very reasonable cost if 3/4 people travel together. In big city like Beijing, there are also underground metro, which can practically get to all famous landmarks in Beijing. Best of all they only cost £0.30p, so it can be a great way to go around place on the free days or nights. 

Right of Cancellation

We reserve the right to cancel or alter holiday arrangements at any time up to and including the departure date. Full refund of all monies will be made in the event of cancellation. Cancellations will be notified to clients without reasonable delay.
