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. Plateau routes (Tibet, Qinghai, Western Sichuan) require a health statement, 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 beds are arranged separately. All itineraries can be adjusted by month, duration, and companions; for details, see 'Custom Itinerary'.
