Each group can include up to 10 people, including children who occupy seats. If the actual number of travelers exceeds this limit, 10% of the total booking amount will be refunded as compensation once verified.
Group arrangements
Our company independently organizes this itinerary, and we guarantee that all travelers are from tours4fun channels, including but not limited to the tours4fun website, tours4fun offline stores, and other distribution channels recognized by tours4fun.

Due to strict daily visitor limits, the Mogao Grottoes require pre-booked tickets, allocated based on daily visitor flow. Your visit time will be confirmed by the Mogao Grottoes.
