In both Shanghai and Hong Kong we only book the comfortable hotels for
you. Our listed itinerary for these two parts is just for your reference,
which is not included in our package tour price. These two places are
both international metropolis with modern transportations to be easily
accessed, and also English is widely used, so it is quite convenient to
find the way to your destinations, there's no need to have a guide and
private car according to our experiences. Thus, to save the cost for you,
we, TravelChinaGuide, would like to leave these two cities' visit on your
own. Particularly, we have made a sketch map for the suggested itinerary
in Shanghai, and in Hong Kong, we also made a transportation map, where
you could obtain some useful information on how to get to your hotel from
the airport. Hope you will enjoy your days there.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid being a little bit adventurous and
enjoy your stay in Shanghai or Hong Kong in a sit-back manner, we are
also glad to make arrangements for you. Your tour specialists will quote
you the price for this part upon your requirements.

and Conditions
We thought the Peking Opera show was boring and a little weird for
western people. But maybe we do not appreciate its long history. The soft
seat train from Chengdu to Chongqing was fine. But you should tell people
that they need to depart the train at the new "Chongqing North" station
and not wait for the train to go to a Chongking station. Then when
getting off the train, there are no baggage carts and it is very
difficult to move the heavy baggage downstairs to meet the guide. We
followed the crowd down many stairs, and then discovered if we had
continued on the train platform there is a ramp that makes it much easier
to move heavy rolling baggage. This baggage movement problem makes the
train unsuitable for people who are not physically fit.
