1,Altitude Sickness:

Yunnan is a mountainous Province with high elevation. Sometimes people maybe suffer from the altitude sickness, you should drink much water,walk slowly and have much more rest. The elevations of Yunnan are as follows: Kunming(1895M),Dali(1976M),Lijiang(2416M),Shangrila(3280M).

 

2, Ethnic Folk Customs:

Please respect the local ethnic culture when you visit China. There are 55 ethnic minorities in China, you can find 52 of them in Yunnan Province. In this tour, you will experience Bai, Yi, Naxi, Tibetan,Mosuo minorities. You can learn more information about them from "Yunnan Ethnic Minorities".

 

3, Tipping
Giving a tip to someone who serves is a token of gratitude for a job well done.For the person who provides the service, their tip is often a large part of their income.Therefore, it is assumed they will do their best job to get the best tip possible.Unfortunately service tends to fall short quite often and then servers become insulted when the tip does not measure up to their expectations.

 

As the time flies to 21 century, tipping is no longer illegal in China since 1980s. Tipping for tour guides and drivers in recognition of their good service has become a common practice. Hotel bellboys and house keepers expect your tips as well. It is not customary to leave tips at hotel or local restaurants as the bill usually includes 10-15% service charge. 

.Yunnan Adventure Travel does not include tipping in our quotation as tipping is a personal matter. If you don't know what the proper amount for tipping would be, the following standard is for your reference:

 

•If you are traveling in a small party like 2 to 5 members, We suggest approximately US $8 to US $10 /per guest per day as tips for tour guide and US $4 to US $6 for the driver and about US $2 to US $3 for hotel bellboys as a gratitude for their service.

 

For example, if 2 of you are traveling together and will stay in Beijing for 3 nights, the tip from both of you may be from US$48 to US$60 for the tour guide, US$24 to US$36 for the driver. But, for active tours like hiking, biking, rafting, we suggest you double the tipping.

 

•If you are traveling in a party like 6 to 9 members, We suggest US $6 to US $8 /per guest per day as tips for the tour guide and US $3 to US $5 for the driver and about US $1 to US $2 for hotel bellboys as a gratitude for their service.

 

•If you are traveling in a group with more than 10 people, We suggest US $3 to US $5 /per guest per day as tips for the tour guide and US $2 to US $3 for the driver and about US $3 to US $5 for hotel bellboys as a gratitude for their service.

 

The above is for your reference only, again tipping is a personal matter, you can always adjust the amount based on your satisfaction with the service you get from your tour guides, drivers, bellboys and so on.

-- The ancient city of Weishan was built more than 600 years ago. There are a lot of ancient buildings in it. The magnificent Building Gongchen is the symbol of the ancient city. The taoist temple Weibaoshan is one of the 14 taoist temples, which are most famous throughout China. By the way, it is also a " forest garden at national level", which was defined by the State Council of PRC in 1992. And the ancient city of Weishan is named a “famous historical, cultural city" by our country in 1994. Weishan county is also a famous home place of overseas Chinese. Now more than 1400 overseas Chinese from Weishan County live abroad (in Europe, America, Asia and the Pacific area).
 
As is well-known, Weishan County is a mountain area. In the north-east part of the county, there is a big mountain pass, named Longqingguan. Around it lies a stretch of primeval forest. In ancient times the famous Silk Road from China to the west went through the pass. Every year a large number of merchants went and came along the road. And the pass is also the necessary passage for migratory birds. In autumn, thousands of migratory birds fly over the pass. With the flying birds in the sky at dusk, the scene around the pass looks most magnificent. Since the ancient time, a stone tablet has been set up beside the pass. On it were engraved several big Chinese characters, which mean “the grand pass for migratory birds." It is said, this is the earliest record made by the ancients, watching the flyway of the migratory birds. Here scientists can work to put rings onto the birds in order to research the living law of them.
 
In a word, being a stretch of miraculous land, Weishan is an excellent place for tourism, sightseeing, holidays and the science research.
