Passport and visa
     A passport valid at least six months beyond the tour departure date is required. ChinaPlus will apply for a group visa for the tour. As noted above, a photocopy of the identification pages of your passport is due seventy-five days before departure. The group visa and handling fee of $35 per person will be added to your invoice. This fee applies to the group visa only. Those who will enter and/or exit China at a different time from the group must secure their own visa. ChinaPlus will provide necessary forms and information to assist you in applying for the visa.

Travel insurance
     We strongly recommend that tour members purchase travel insurance, which can include coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, health problems and baggage loss. ChinaPlus will mail you a Travelex insurance brochure upon your request on the reservation form. Of course you can purchase travel insurance from any company you wish.

Note: in order to cover pre-existing conditions, most travel insurance companies require you to buy the insurance within 7-14 days of placing your initial deposit on the cost of the tour.

Cancellation and refund

59-36 days before departure . . . . .$750
35-8 days before departure . . . . . .$1,500

The cancellation policy is based on the tour cost associated with the land portion (includes cruise) of the tour. Any refund for cancellation of air will be handled separately. Any penalty charged by air carriers or ticketing agents for airline ticket cancellation will be deducted from the refund. There is no refund for no-shows or for any unused portion of the trip.

The tour price is based on a minimum of ten participants. ChinaPlus reserves the right to add a reasonable amount of charges to the tour price if the group falls below that number.
