Package-Specific Frequently Asked Questions

Does this 8-day package qualify for China’s visa-free policies?

Yes. Travelers holding passports from 30-day visa-free countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) can enjoy this entire package with zero visa paperwork. For travelers from other nationalities, we provide official booking vouchers to support standard tourist visa applications.

Are all hotels guaranteed to accept foreign passport holders?

Yes, 100%. Every hotel in this package has verified foreigner check-in qualification (涉外资质), round-the-clock front desk English service, and western breakfast options. You will never face late-night check-in refusals.

How are high-speed bullet train tickets arranged?

All intercity high-speed train tickets are pre-booked using your passport numbers. In China, paper tickets have been fully phased out; your electronic ticket is tied directly to your passport. Your private driver escorts you to the correct departure hall and manual verification lane.

Can this itinerary be customized for our travel dates or party size?

Absolutely. Every package can be tailored with flexible start dates, alternative hotel categories (boutique courtyard vs. international 5-star), extra rest days, or customized dietary arrangements (halal, vegetarian, gluten-free).
