2. If you haven't received the message by 8:00 PM (9:00 PM on holidays), please contact the registration office (please do not urge us before the deadline; the tour leader is actively contacting them).

3. There may be errors in the copying of tourists' ID numbers. ID information will be verified on the tour bus on the day of departure to ensure accuracy.

4. There are vendors selling breakfast, raincoats, rain boots, and other small items near rest areas. Please be discerning when buying from these vendors, as some may impersonate travel agency personnel. Staff members may try to sell goods to tourists and promote false information about prices at the scenic area. Please be wary. The travel agency will not arrange any staff (including tour guides and drivers) to sell any small commodities to tourists at the meeting point. However, our agency also has no right to interfere with the free trade rights of vendors, nor does it assume any responsibility for transactions between vendors and tourists. Thank you for your understanding!

It is less crowded, open, and has many swings, mani stones, and wooden houses for taking photos, making it an excellent spot for viewing snow-capped mountains.

6. The visit to Yuzixi/Balangshengdu is a free time without a tour guide. Your safety is your own responsibility during this free time!

7. This itinerary involves a long journey, mostly on mountain roads. Road conditions are unpredictable and traffic jams may occur, resulting in later meal times or later arrival at the hotel. Thank you for your understanding. Please do not book round-trip transportation (such as buses, trains, airplanes, etc.) for the same day if the return time is uncertain. 8. There will be roadside stops along the way where tour buses can provide water or toilet facilities. After getting off at such stops, you will have free time. You will also have free time after dinner. Please keep your valuables with you during your free time and be responsible for your personal safety and property.
