2. Our agency follows the principles of service first and customer foremost, and will arrange according to the original itinerary as much as possible. However, for uncertain factors in the itinerary, such as specific flight times, hotel names, addresses, etc., the final version shall be subject to the "Group Departure Notice". We hope tourists will understand and cooperate.
3. Room sharing principle: two people of the same sex per room; if there is a single male or single female in the group, the guide has the right to adjust; if a married couple travels together, we will try to arrange the same room on the premise of not affecting the total number of rooms and not creating a single male or single female; otherwise, the guide will arrange separate accommodation. Group accommodation does not provide natural single rooms. If the number of registrants is odd and separate accommodation is required throughout the trip, please pay the single room supplement. We hope tourists will understand and cooperate.
4. During the tour, in case of force majeure factors (such as transportation, strikes, severe weather, etc.), if the itinerary and tour items need to be changed, our agency will negotiate with the travelers. Any resulting increase in costs will be charged to the travelers according to the actual situation.
5. The embassy reserves the right to require applicants to attend an interview at the relevant embassy in Beijing or another city before departure when applying for the visa and after returning. All resulting expenses shall be borne by the guest. If the arrival day is Friday to Sunday or a holiday, please book a flight for the next Monday or the next working day after 14:00 (embassies are not open to the public on Friday afternoons). (Some embassies may notify the guest for an interview only a few days after returning.)
6. Guests who are not selected for an interview to cancel the visa need to hand over the original passport and all boarding passes to the tour leader to submit to the embassy for visa cancellation. In peak season, visa cancellation usually takes a long time, generally about 1-2 months.
7. In peak season, visa issuance is later, and the visa result is generally known one day before departure (specific time subject to embassy notification).
8. Relevant baggage regulations shall be subject to the rules of the airline taken!
9. In the case of included domestic connecting flights, flight times are subject to airline allocation. If allocated a connecting flight arriving at the departure port one day earlier, the resulting accommodation and other expenses shall be borne by the guest.

The specific compensation liability, compensation standards, and claims shall be interpreted and fulfilled by the insurance company. Tourists may voluntarily purchase other personal insurance during the tour. (Elderly people over 70 are advised to purchase insurance with direct overseas compensation functions on their own.)
