Normally we include two meals (breakfast & lunch) each day upon your dining request. Unless otherwise requested, the dinner is left to your own arrangement; you may take this opportunity for a little food adventure.

* Breakfasts usually are served at the hotel where you stay; can be in western style, Chinese style, or a combination depending on your hotel.

* Lunches are a la carte at local restaurants whenever possible, usually Chinese food is served with sanitation guaranteed. Please note in some remote regions it’s simply hard to arrange a decent a la carte meal, then lunch will be at a local tourist restaurant or a local family.

* Your tour guide will help you make the order as waiters’ English capacity at local restaurants do varies. 

* Please tell your travel consultant and tour guide in advance if you have any specific requirements regarding meals.

Normally we arrange one or two shopping stops at each destination. At these shops you can buy genuine, high quality local specialties at a reasonable price. These shopping opportunities are according to your own desires; there will be no forced shopping.
