      Note: In Hunan, drivers and tour guides on tour buses typically recommend and sell local specialty products to tourists at the end of the tour. This is a common practice in Hunan’s tourism industry and is not a shopping arrangement made by the travel agency! It is entirely up to the guests’ discretion, with no mandatory spending involved.

      Special reminder
      1. All admission tickets included in the itinerary are calculated based on the most favorable rates. There will be no refunds for unused tickets, and no discounts will be returned. Please be aware of this!
      2. The high-speed train schedules and hotel arrangements are subject to the confirmation letter from the travel group. The local tour operator has the right to make adjustments to the order of the itinerary without changing the attractions, so please understand and be forgiving of any such changes.
      3. The travel agency ensures the provision of high-speed train tickets, but guests cannot make special requests regarding the train schedule or seating arrangements. Thank you for your cooperation!

      Precautions
      1. Please ensure that when registering for the tour, you accurately provide your full name and identification numbers (a photocopy of your ID card will be kept on file), and bring valid identification documents (ID card, household registration book, passport, Home Return Permit, etc.) when traveling, as they are required for boarding trains and checking into hotels. If you are unable to travel due to personal reasons, you will be held responsible.
      2. It is recommended that tourists purchase travel accident insurance before departing. According to the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the age range for accidental insurance coverage has been adjusted to 2-75 years old. For tourists over 70 years old, the compensation will be 50% of the total insured amount. The total insured amount for children is capped at 100,000 yuan. Only medical expenses for acute illnesses are covered, and no other insurance responsibilities will be assumed.
      3. Please fill out the tourist feedback form carefully. The signed feedback form will serve as an important basis for handling complaints and feedback. If there are any issues, they should be raised and resolved promptly on-site. If they cannot be resolved immediately, they must be recorded locally; otherwise, the travel agency will not be responsible for any issues raised after the group tour has concluded.
      4. This route does not accept registrations from pregnant women, individuals with infectious diseases or other conditions that may endanger the health and safety of others, and tourists over 75 years old. If any accidents occur or other losses are incurred due to the concealment of one’s health status, the tourist will bear the responsibility, and the travel agency will not be held liable. Additionally, the tour does not accept solo participation from special groups such as individuals over 65 years old, minors under 18, people with disabilities, and foreign nationals. These individuals must be accompanied by relatives, friends, guardians, or a Chinese translator to participate. Tourists over 70 years old must provide a “Health Declaration” and sign a waiver upon registration.
