Other tips: This itinerary accepts specified dates and private customization. Special note: This itinerary is only for residents of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Residents of Taiwan and foreign nationals are not permitted to participate. Conditions in Tibetan areas are limited (water and power outages are common). Please bring your own toiletries, flashlight, wet wipes, etc. Friends with germophobia, please bring your own sleeping bag. This activity route involves high-altitude areas in Tibetan regions, so children under 5 years old are not suitable to participate; pregnant women, infants, patients with heart, lung, brain, and blood system diseases, and seniors over 60 years old should consult a doctor before traveling and proceed with caution, depending on their physical condition and within their capabilities. Traveling in high-altitude regions involves inherent risks and unpredictability. All participants are considered to possess full civil capacity and are in good health. Participants acknowledge the risks associated with high-altitude travel and confirm that they do not have pre-existing conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease. Our company will not be liable for any compensation resulting from altitude sickness. There are no shopping arrangements on this tour, and the driver will not make any shopping recommendations. During free time, if tourists do not have a need to purchase, they should not bargain with locals or linger too long. If tourists voluntarily shop, please verify product quality on your own. If a transaction intention is reached after bargaining, please make the purchase. If you bargain and then change your mind and do not buy, it can easily cause trouble, and you will be responsible for any resulting disputes and conflicts. If there are no passengers requiring special assistance, seats are taken in rotation, one by one. The itinerary lists hotels, and our agency's room allocation staff will arrange rooms based on the room availability at each stage. Tourists cannot unilaterally specify rooms. If the preferred hotel is fully booked, an alternative hotel will be arranged; in special circumstances such as peak season, due to tight room availability, a hotel of the same standard will be arranged. Hotels are arranged for two people per room, and the room type cannot be specified. If the total number of rooms is not affected, and the group encounters a single male or female, our agency will arrange for them to share a room with a person of the same sex. If a guest insists on staying alone, the guest must pay the single room supplement directly to the hotel front desk (the specific charge is subject to the hotel front desk). Conditions in Tibetan areas are limited, and accommodation standards cannot be compared with those in cities. For environmental protection, it is recommended to bring your own toiletries. When entering the room, please check the room amenities. If any amenities are missing, please notify the attendant immediately. In the room, please take care of items as required by the hotel. If there is any damage or loss, please compensate according to hotel regulations before checking out. Without reducing the number of main attractions, the driver has the right to adjust the order of visiting attractions based on factors such as weather, flights, traffic, season, and peak season crowds. When some attractions in the itinerary encounter unexpected accidents, objective reasons such as rest, closure for maintenance, or emergencies, the driver will provide an itinerary change plan, striving to ensure the smooth progress of the trip. The change plan will be decided by a vote of all tourists, with the minority abiding by the majority. The tour time will be adjusted or relevant ticket fees refunded according to the actual situation, and any additional expenses incurred due to the change will be borne by the tourists. Traveling in the Tibetan areas of Western Sichuan presents many things you might not understand or tolerate in bustling cities. Regarding infrastructure, water, electricity, and transportation can be problematic. Unexpected water and power outages are common, and temporary traffic controls often catch us off guard. Please be mentally prepared for this. Due to less-than-ideal transportation conditions in high-altitude areas, natural disasters such as landslides, mudslides, and debris flows can occasionally occur, potentially causing traffic delays. Therefore, visitors from outside the province are advised to purchase plane or train tickets for departure on the following day. Guests are not permitted to leave the tour group at will. If a guest insists on leaving the tour group, they must sign a disclaimer. The guest is responsible for their personal safety and any property loss incurred during the period of separation from the tour. Prepaid items in the itinerary are non-refundable (such as shared ride fees, same-day hotel bookings, etc.). No refunds will be issued for unused portions of the itinerary. Our company is not responsible for any itinerary delays or additional costs incurred due to force majeure (weather, delays, etc.). Such costs shall be borne by the guests themselves. If the railway bureau temporarily cancels train services, all compensation will be implemented in accordance with the railway bureau's compensation system and is not related to our company. This trip will be entirely on a plateau, with a long journey and complex road conditions, so it is very likely that the vehicle will break down. If the vehicle breaks down, please wait patiently or work together to resolve the issue. The normal resolution process is: if the vehicle cannot be repaired within 2 hours, in order not to affect the itinerary, we will call local vehicles for the subsequent journey, and the cost will be paid by the company. Please cooperate. For tourists who refuse to change vehicles, it will be considered that the tourist voluntarily gives up the trip, and we will refund the unused accommodation fees and tickets, and the contract will be terminated. During your trip, please take care of your valuables at all times. When resting in your hotel room at night, please fasten the security lock and ensure that doors and windows are securely closed. Respect the original culture, local customs, and their religious beliefs. Customs influenced by religion may differ from ours, so please remember the driver's instructions regarding travel precautions during your tour. Do not mention political issues concerning ethnic minorities in any situation, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. When traveling, please pay attention to your health. Avoid eating raw food, raw seafood, peeled fruit, patronizing unlicensed roadside stalls, and overeating. Drink plenty of boiled water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce smoking and alcohol consumption. When first arriving at high altitudes, do not shower for the first two days. After two days, decide whether to shower based on your physical condition to avoid catching a cold, which may cause or worsen altitude sickness and affect the entire trip. Water and electricity supplies may be insufficient in high-altitude or Tibetan areas, which may result in unstable water temperatures. Before showering, test the water temperature with your hand to avoid burns from excessively hot water or catching a cold from excessively cold water. Water outages may also occur during showers, so shower quickly. If you have long hair, it is recommended to wash your hair and body separately to avoid running out of hot water or experiencing a water outage before you are finished. The travel agency will arrange relevant insurance suitable for this activity for each tourist. If personal injury occurs during the activity, the injured party shall claim compensation in accordance with laws and regulations and this statement, and the insurance company shall execute compensation liability in accordance with insurance regulations. In the absence of subjective fault, our agency shall not bear any compensation liability. For those who register on behalf of others, if the registered participant suffers personal injury, our agency shall not bear any compensation liability. The travel agency provides basic travel accident insurance as a gift, rather than purchasing it on behalf of tourists. If tourists believe the insured amount does not meet their needs, they can purchase high-coverage insurance themselves. [About Photography] 1. When photographing in plateaus and Tibetan areas, please respect local management regulations and customs. Do not take photos at checkpoints, bridges, military control zones, private residences, temples, religious ceremonies, and other places with photography restrictions. If you insist on taking photos, your camera may be confiscated or more serious consequences may occur. Tourists are responsible for any adverse consequences and impacts resulting from this. 2. In Tibetan areas, taking photos of local Tibetans, Tibetan mastiffs, or yaks at or near scenic spots usually involves a fee. It is recommended to either avoid photographing these subjects or pay willingly. When taking portraits of people in pastoral areas, temples, or other locations, try to obtain their consent. If you are refused, please stop taking photos immediately. 3. The ability to capture stunning photos during the trip, and the type of photos you can capture, depends on a combination of factors such as weather, lighting, and season. It's largely a matter of luck. The team will not be able to extend the stay at a particular spot simply because satisfactory photos were not taken.
