• The itinerary cost does not include the tour leader and driver fees.

• When traveling, please stay hydrated at all times.
• During long holidays, there are many travelers, and it's inevitable that there will be some service shortcomings during the trip. For example, the speed of refilling dishes during meals will definitely not keep up with the speed of picking them up. If the hotel serves food too slowly, you can directly report it to your tour leader (guide). Please do not get angry and spoil your travel mood. Other situations, such as waiting times when the hotel distributes keys, purchases tickets for admission, or transfers to other modes of transportation, are also common, so please understand this in advance!

• If tickets are distributed, please check each type of ticket (e.g., train tickets, admission tickets) to ensure they are all present. If any are missing, please notify the team leader.

• Please be careful when walking on snowy and steep roads.
• Remember not to flaunt your wealth in public, and do not take out a stack of banknotes in front of others when shopping.
• Please observe the precautions announced by the tour leader (guide) for various places such as scenic spots, restaurants, hotels, and amusement facilities.
• Groups must participate in activities together. If anyone wishes to leave the group midway, they must obtain the consent of the group leader (tour guide) to prevent accidents.
• For your health and the health of other passengers, as the tour bus is an enclosed space, passengers are required to wear masks in accordance with regulations from the CDC and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. If a passenger fails to comply after being advised, the supplier will refuse to allow the passenger to continue riding the tour bus and will legally terminate the travel contract with the passenger.
• For a safer and more comfortable journey, please remember to fasten your seatbelt before each tour bus departure. If you need any assistance, please inform the service staff on board.
