Travel details
Getting here and getting around
The sightseeing plan starts in Lufeng and finishes in Heijing. Agree your arrival station, airport or hotel before booking; these meeting points are not interchangeable. Local attraction and village access is by the road and visitor routes confirmed for your dates.
Your proposal should list each road stage, the actual overnight base and any scenic-area transport. Drive times depend on the route and conditions, so avoid adding a tight flight or rail connection after a remote visit.
When to travel
Spring and autumn are useful for town and countryside walks. Exposed valleys can be hot at midday, while summer rain can alter rural paths.
Stays and meals
This 6-day plan allows for 5 overnight stays: Lufeng (3 nights); Heijing (2 nights). These are suggested bases, subject to the agreed route and property availability.
Choose your preferred accommodation style and room configuration before a quotation is prepared. Breakfasts, other meals and dietary requests are itemised, with time for local food where it fits the day.
What your quotation covers
Ask for an itemised quotation covering the guide, agreed transfers, admission tickets, scenic-area transport, accommodation and meals you want included. A suggested experience is confirmed only when it appears in the final proposal.
International and onward travel, optional activities, personal purchases and unlisted meals are additional unless expressly included. Your dates, group size, room choices and service level determine the quotation; no fixed package price is implied.
Useful to know before you go
- Lufeng: The dinosaur attraction and Heijing are separate journeys rather than adjacent stops.
- Lufeng Dinosaur Valley: Confirm which museum and entertainment zones are included in admission.
- Heijing Ancient Town: Allow a separate road journey and check individual heritage-building access.
