I have sent an email with the detailed answer to your questions. Please check your e-mail. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me.

Enjoy your weekend! ;-)

We are able to cater for vegetarians if you need.

Hope it helps.

The tour is private tour, the departure date depends on your inquiry. The starting date is flexible and we can arrange the itinerary based on your need.

Also, July is the summer season traveling around China, the day time temperature would reach 35℃/80℉, and the rainning. But you may get slight discount for hotel reservation or flights coming to China than the most comfortable monthes (Apr. May, Sep. and Oct).

The price shown has included the domestic flights in China (Beijing-Xian, Xian-Lhasa, Lhasa-Chongqing,Yichang-Shanghai) with economy class, international flights cost are extra. Usually we recommend www.flychina.com and www.cheaptickets.com, if you find an option with USD OR Euro 600-700 per person roundway with tax, that is good deal, catch the time to confirm! If you are the members of any Air club, you could ask your travel advisor to accumulate distance or you do by yourself when checking in at airport.

Thanks

China Highlights Travel

The meals specified are arranged at local restaurants where are very popular among local people and you can therefore taste authentic local flavor, not that kind of tourist restaurants using set menus, with shops and shopping factories attached.

Regarding the hotels, in most circumstances, China Highlights uses 5 star hotels for Superior Class, 4 star hotels for Deluxe Class, 3 star hotels for Tourist Class.

To get a quick idea of the hotel standard, please read on.

Tourist Class, 3 Star Hotel

3 star hotel will provide AC room, 24 hours hot water shower, clean bed, desk, drawers and closet, carpet or wood floor, telephones in every room with international direct dial(IDD), mini-bar and refrigerator, color television sets, in-house movies, music, writing materials, western and Chinese dinning rooms with English-speaking attendants, coffee shop, banquet hall or function room, buffet breakfast and bar service foreign exchange, safe deposit boxes, store, camera film developing, fax and telex service, luggage storage, 24-hour laundry and dry-cleaning, wake-up calls, shoe polishing, and taxis, accept major credit cards and medical services

In remote areas or small villages which have no star hotels, the guests house or family Inn will always be equipped with clean bed, AC room, private bathroom with hot water shower. Limited English may be available at the reception desk but it is unlikely that any other employees will speak any English.

Deluxe Class, 4 star hotel

Based on the equipments of 3 star hotels, 4 star hotels should have luxurious and spacious sound-proof rooms, low-noise toilets, and hair dryers. They should have guests and service elevators, background music, health club, swimming pool, sauna, business center, greenhouse, 24-hour doorman, babysitting services, 24-hour room service available. A guest reception and assistant manager should be available in the lobby 24 hours a day.

Superior Class, 5 star hotel

Five-Star hotels are usually palatial with huge lobbies, their standards not quite matching the best of Paris or New Year, but very close. Service should be better than the four-star hotels described above. There are many hotels of five-star international standard, just as good as hotels in Washington or Ottawa except for the standard of English. Some hotels have their own fleets of Mercedes limousines of Toyota vans that make regular runs to the airport or city center. At least two hotels have Rolls Royce. Many have executive floors with concierges, free continental breakfasts, and fast check-in. Many have magnificent ball rooms and lobbies and cater to foreign business people on expense accounts. They have the best western food and probably the best Chinese food in town, and the most luxurious breakfast buffets. Some leave chocolates on your pillow, or a rubber ducky on your bathtub, nice litter touches that bring a smile.

The Chinese hotel star are determined by China National Tourism Bureau with a very strict standard, to know more differences of 5, 4, or 3 star hotels, please click here. However, please keep in mind that, China Highlights Travel do not choose hotels for our clients only based on hotel stars which was given by China National Tourism Bureau, we choose hotels for our clients based on many other factors as well, for example, feed back from our clients, location of the hotels, management of the hotels, market preference of the hotels (for example, some hotels are very experienced in serving Chinese clients but not Western Guests) and so on. English will be available at the reception desk and other employees should be able to speak English.
