Season and time

Choose your month and available local days first. Jiuzhaigou’s planning framework is 4–6 days; the other routes generally need more time. These are examples, not confirmed schedules. Weather, access, walking and overnight altitude must fit your actual itinerary.

What the plan includes

Compare the written route, hotel and room, vehicle, visits and meals. International flights are not included unless explicitly agreed. Prices, currency, payment method, cancellation and requested extras follow your quote and contract; no universal price is promised.

From inquiry to confirmation

Send your dates, party size, interests, preferred pace and contact details. Discuss the route and service scope, then confirm a detailed itinerary and travel contract. Changes and their cost need agreement. An inquiry is not a confirmed booking.

Arriving from abroad

Agree the China arrival and departure cities before buying flights. Allow for long-haul travel, time zones and delayed connections. Residence, departure country and passport nationality are different; check the official entry and regional-access rules for your passport and dates. Approval is not guaranteed.

Languages and communication

This page provides prepared information in your chosen language. Detailed route pages and the inquiry form linked below are in English. Tell us your preferred communication language; consultant, driver and guide languages and availability require confirmation. Translation does not promise a guide in this language.

Questions to settle before booking

Is a private driver also a guide? Do not assume so: confirm roles and guiding days. Can every vehicle enter each scenic area? Local transport rules still apply. Need dietary, mobility or altitude arrangements? Describe the need in advance; equipment and private transport do not guarantee suitability.
