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; ticket prices and bed arrangements are handled separately. All itineraries can be adjusted by month, number of days, and traveling companions. For details, see 'Customized Itinerary.'
