We strongly suggest you PACK LIGHT and bring casual clothes. Laundry service is available in most hotels with reasonable charges. Plastic bags are convenient for separating laundry or wet clothes in suitcases. To dress for comfort is much more important than anything else during your trip. Here is the checklist:
A pair of sturdy, comfortable walking shoes.
A sports jacket and tie for men, and one or two dresses or pantsuits for women, will suit the most formal occasions while in China (especially on a Yangtze River Cruise).
Sweaters, shirts and jackets that can be layered to suit a range of climates.
A lightweight raincoat.
Warm woolen clothing, down overcoat, hat and gloves are recommended if you travel in winter season. Cottons are the best in summer time.

Common toiletries, pocket--size tissue, lip balm, sun--tan lotion and sun glasses.

Baggage allowance differs from international and China domestic flights; and varies between carriers. In general, transpacific flights allow two pieces of check-in luggage per person. For China domestic flights, only one piece of check-in luggage (no more than 44 pounds or 20 kg) is allowed. One standard carry-on is allowed per person for both international and China domestic flights. We recommend that you pack a duffel bag in your suitcase to use as an additional piece of luggage for your return flight home. If you do travel with more than one piece per person, a fee may be imposed for extra piece of excessive weight. All baggage should be locked while traveling.

Airport departure tax is now included in the ticket price. There is no need to pay for it seperately.

No. You can use the tap water to brush your teeth. We recommend that you drink only bottled water or boiled water. Bottled water is available at hotels and local stores.

When we finish discussing the itinerary, a deposit of US$400 per person is required in order to confirm all services in China. Final payment is due 45 days prior to international arrival in China.If you cancel your tour prior to the scheduled tour arrival, a US$200 cancellation fee will be charged.

It's better not to do so because we issue the air, train, and cruise tickets and hotels in advance. Sometimes it is very difficult to reserve the new tickets and the hotels especially at the peak tour seasons. As far as we know, the hotels have different stars and costs. If you gave a sudden change of the schedule, we should rearrange your unfinished itinerary, the loss of transportation and the hotel or the difference could happen. All these occurred are your responsibility.

If it happened, we would revise the services for you according to your requests, and do our best to retrieve a loss of the trip and reimburse you; but if extra costs occur due to the itinerary revision, you should cover the costs. Do not be nervous and worry about your trip in China. We will pay great attention to your tour throughout. All of our English-speaking guides and drivers are extremely friendly helpful and considerable.

We are interested in your comments regarding your trip, and would appreciate your comments and suggestions. This will help us continue provide the finest service to our clients.  info@hqchinatours.com
