The times marked in the itinerary are for reference only, and the actual tour situation on the day shall prevail. The itinerary may change and be adjusted due to factors such as weather, road conditions, holidays, traffic arrival and departure times, scenic area queuing and control, tourists themselves, and force majeure. Please be aware and understand. Each scenic area has a shopping district, which is a basic commercial facility for the scenic area and not a designated shopping store by a travel agency. Please identify carefully, choose cautiously, and consume rationally. If your consumer rights are infringed upon, our company will assist you in handling related matters, but will not bear any related responsibility. The tour guide will inform you of the meeting time and place about 1 day in advance. Please be sure to arrive on time.
