Booking Reminder

Popular scenic spots (the Forbidden City, Mogao Caves, Jiuzhaigou, Zhangjiajie, etc.) have real-name visit limits, so it is recommended to make a reservation 15–30 days in advance. High-speed train tickets go on sale 15 days before departure; they sell out on the first day during peak season, so be sure to set a reminder. For high-altitude routes (Tibet, Qinghai, Western Sichuan), a health certificate is required, and it is recommended to take Rhodiola 7 days in advance. Seniors over 60 and children under 1.2 meters should be noted when booking, as ticket prices and bed arrangements are different. All itineraries can be adjusted by month, number of days, and traveling companions. For details, see 'Customized Itinerary'.
