- Zhangjiajie hotels provide hot water and AC on a schedule. Check room amenities upon arrival and report issues to the guide or staff. Per Hunan regulations, disposable toiletries aren’t provided—bring your own. Check-out is at 12:00; late check-out incurs extra fees.

- Scattered group tours involve varied arrival times. Brief waits due to flight/train delays are normal; extra costs from missing departure times are guest-borne.
- Check local weather before departure. Xiangxi’s mountainous climate has large day-night temperature swings—bring warm clothing, sun protection, and rain gear. Respect local minority customs. Essentials: raincoat/umbrella, sneakers, cold/stomach medicine, insect repellent, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses.
- Zhangjiajie’s high-altitude terrain involves extensive walking and long drives. Get a health check before travel. Those with heart disease, hypertension, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness, diabetes, infectious diseases, anemia, pregnancy, or mobility issues should not join. Concealed conditions leading to accidents are the guest’s responsibility. Over-70s require a safety agreement + recent health certificate from a top-tier hospital + family consent; pregnant women and over-75s are not accepted.

Tournée d'hiver
Nous avons rejoint le China Winter Tour à Harbin pour le festival de glace. C'était spectaculaire ! Les sculptures de neige étaient à couper le souffle et notre guide, Tom, s'est assuré que nous restions au chaud et à l'aise. Le dîner de fondue chinoise était la fin parfaite de notre journée glaciale. Hautement recommandé pour les amoureux de l'hiver !

Une visite magique des pandas !
Notre visite des pandas à Chengdu a été tout ce que nous espérions !

Regarder les pandas jouer et se nourrir était réconfortant. La visite comprenait également de merveilleux arrêts dans les temples et marchés locaux. Une journée inoubliable qui nous a permis de nous connecter profondément à la faune et à la culture chinoises.
