Travel details
Getting here and getting around
The sightseeing plan starts in Shizong and finishes in Shizong. 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.
Keep the visit based around Shizong; a transfer from another city is an additional arrangement. Exact pick-up times, return arrangements and any internal scenic transport are confirmed before departure.
When to travel
Choose dates around the landscapes you most want to see. Summer rain can change waterfall conditions and path access; exposed viewpoints need suitable layers.

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.
