We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. When you check some other tours, if they don't mention no shopping, they MUST have commissioned based shopping stops as jade factory or tea ceremony. Even you don't see shopping related words in their itineraries or product introduction, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with them about the shopping stops and read reviews from their clients carefully to see what the real experience would be. By joining a shopping tour like that, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and you will be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called jade factory or tea ceremony is the tourist trap. You have to stay there an hour or more for those travel agents to get the commission from the factory stores. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops just like ours.
We offer free pick-up & drop-off from hotels in Wulingyuan near East Gate of the National Forest Park, or downtown Zhangjiajie City.
Travelers will be picked up in the morning according to their hotel locations. The exact pick-up time will be confirmed the day before. Please be ready at the hotel lobby at least 5 minutes in advance, which is the maximum waiting time.
Please provide the correct passport information for booking the real-name entrance tickets. And also please make sure to carry the same identification for entry while traveling. Otherwise, entry might not be permitted.
The time schedule of the itinerary is for reference only. The sightseeing order of the attractions might be adjusted according to real situations, and the two-day tours swapped sometimes.
Public Holidays: Please aware there will be large crowds and heavy traffic in Chinese public holidays like May Day from May 1st to 5th and National Day from Oct 1st to 7th. We will do the best to arrange the tour.
About Tianmen Mountain: It has 3 kinds of tickets for different sightseeing routes: A, B and C. Usually, we will book the route A or B for you, while, in holidays, tickets are always in great demands, so we cannot guarantee. Route C will sometimes be reserved to ensure your entry.
