Transportation

• Guaranteed transportation for tours within itineraries for groups of more than 10 people, with guaranteed one regular seat per person. Designated vehicles for special destinations and scenic spots are not included.
• During the tour, you may be served by different vehicles and service staff.
• Due to recent onset of the flood season in the Chongqing section of the Yangtze River, large cruise ships may not dock at Chongqing Chaotianmen Dock, requiring a transfer. On Day 7 of the itinerary, the cruise will dock at Fengdu or Fuling Dock, with bus transfers to Chongqing. The cruise company will provide transfer details.
• Free pick-up and drop-off location for this itinerary: Wuhan station.
• Please arrive at the designated location on time with your tours4fun booking number and traveler's name. Please take your seat according to the seat number assigned by the staff. The actual traveler must be the same as the traveler listed in the booking.
• Please arrive at the designated pick-up location at the time agreed upon with the tour guide. Punctuality is important, as being late will delay your itinerary and that of other travelers. If you miss the tour bus due to lateness, please make your way to the next meeting point.
• Dam Bypass Operation: Cruise ships may sometimes be unable to pass through the Three Gorges Dam's ship lock due to unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, the ship will dock at an alternative location, and travelers will take a tour bus to bypass the dam and reach their destination. This process is called "dam bypassing," and the number of onshore attractions will not be reduced.
  
  Reasons for Dam Bypassing: The ship lock may be temporarily closed due to safety hazards, maintenance, emergencies, weather conditions like heavy fog, and other factors to ensure navigation safety and manage traffic.
• Docks along the Yangtze River differ from those in places like Shanghai and Hong Kong. They don't have designated walkways or facilities like elevators. Disembarking involves walking across pontoons or gangplanks and ascending stone steps. Staff will guide and assist you. During the dry season, with lower water levels, you may need to climb an additional 20–100 stone steps.
• To avoid affecting your trip, please arrive at the airport at least 120 minutes before the flight departure time to complete check-in procedures.
• Due to recent Yangtze River entering its flood season, large cruise ships can't dock at Chongqing Chaotianmen Pier, requiring transit to another port. On the boarding date, please go to the specified gathering location in Chongqing City and take a bus to Fengdu or Fuling Pier. The cruise company will provide transit details.
• Other tours4fun group travelers on different cruises may join your group. If transfers involve different piers, the local driver and guide will arrange accordingly based on the group's situation. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated. Thank you.
• Train tickets are randomly assigned without specified bunk beds or seats, and consecutive numbers are not guaranteed. Ensure your ID details are accurate for successful verification, as tickets require real-name registration and ID verification, including passports.
  
  Refunds and transfers require the train ticket and original ID to match. If you have a paper ticket, please handle cancellations at the train station and submit the refund voucher for processing. A business fee will be charged, and specific refund details will be based on the Ministry of Railways' guidelines.

Accommodation

• Most of the hotels at the destination do not provide disposable toiletries.
• Due to local economic conditions, transportation, hotel services and facilities, and dining options may differ from those in more developed cities.

Meals

• If checking into the same hotel, all travelers will have the same meal arrangements throughout the trip.
• For tour group meals, the travel agency will ensure the hygiene and quantity of the food meet the promised standards. However, meal flavors vary in different regions and may not satisfy your personal preferences.
• Due to limited restaurant space on board, passengers will have assigned seating for all meals, including buffets and set menus. Specific seating arrangements will be assigned by the cruise's staff after boarding.
• During peak travel seasons or special circumstances, the departure time might be earlier than usual (you will be notified of the exact time), which could result in missing breakfast at the hotel. We recommend arranging a takeaway breakfast with the hotel or preparing your own.

Tour information

• During peak seasons, skip-the-line services may still require some waiting time due to high visitor volumes.

Shopping/optional expenses

• During the tour, you might find shopping opportunities not organized by the travel agency at various attractions, venues, restaurants, and rest areas. tours4fun advises making purchases based on your needs and requesting proof of purchase. Please note that you are responsible for any disputes related to these purchases.

Gratuities

Penalties for breaking the contract before the date of travel are calculated as follows:

If the actual fees charged to the traveler are higher than the fees shown above, the traveler should pay the actual fees charged, but this amount should not be higher than the total travel fees.
As some travel items need to be booked in advance for this route, cancellations at a time other than the period between the group being formed and 6 day(s) before departure may incur loss without refund of plane tickets, hotel bookings, or other booked items. If the traveler needs to cancel a booking, the traveler should contact the travel agency as soon as possible. The travel agency should help the traveler reduce losses if possible, and refund travel fees after losses and cancellation fees have been deducted. The travel agency is not responsible for further compensating the traveler for any losses.
