Travel Service Notes

What is included

• Typically included: private vehicle and driver-guide, selected accommodation, the cultural experiences and meals listed in your confirmation, plus tickets and reservations within the itinerary
• Typically not included: long-distance transport to Chaoshan (flights, high-speed rail), visas, travel insurance, personal expenses and optional extras
• Every itinerary confirmation lists inclusions item by item — please treat it as authoritative

Visas and entry

China's visa, visa-free and transit rules vary by nationality — confirm the latest requirements with the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country, or through official channels, before booking flights. If you need a trip itinerary or invitation letter for your application, we can assist once your booking is confirmed. Carry a valid passport and observe customs declaration rules on arrival.

Best time to visit

Chaoshan has a subtropical maritime climate. October to April is cool and comfortable — ideal for old-town walks, walled villages and roots journeys; April–June is the rainiest stretch; July–September is hot with occasional typhoons. If a typhoon or storm affects ferries or outdoor experiences, we will confirm alternative arrangements with you before departure.

Health and safety

• Itineraries revolve around walking through old-town lanes, markets and villages — comfortable shoes are recommended
• Tell us about food allergies or dietary requirements (vegetarian, halal and so on) before confirming your itinerary
• When seniors or children join, we pace the day and limit walking distances — let us know your needs in advance
• We recommend travel insurance that covers medical costs and emergency repatriation

Cultural etiquette

Ancestral halls, family homes and villages are living spaces for daily life and ancestor worship; we arrange visits according to local custom, so please follow your guide's lead. Always ask before photographing people. There is no strict etiquette for gongfu tea — your host pours, you simply enjoy.
