Travel details

Getting here and getting around

The sightseeing plan starts in Luoping and finishes in Luoping. 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 Luoping; 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.

Stays and meals

This 3-day plan allows for 2 overnight stays: Luoping (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

  • Jiulong Waterfalls: Water volume and open paths vary; expect steps and wet surfaces.
  • Duoyi River: Use authorised visitor routes and confirm any boat or local-host activities separately.
  • Lubuge Gorge: Boat operations and access depend on current arrangements; do not assume a daily cruise.
