Dear Kit,
According to what I known for your trip requirements, I just worked out 2 tour itineraries, both of them are based on arriving Beijing on Sep29 and departure Shanghai on Oct19, one is covered Beijing, Xian, Lhasa, Shangri-la, Lijiang, Dali, Kunming, Guilin, Yangshuo, Longsheng & Shanghai. Another one is covered Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-la, Chongqing, Yangtze River, Yichang & Shanghai.
I know you’re interested in the first itinerary, but Lhasa now is not able for foreigners to visit because of the government policy, we could try to apply the Tibet Permit for you, but can not surely confirm that you could get it. So I recommend another similar tour for you but without Lhasa, in case you couldn’t enter Tibet.
For the international flights, I will check it and go back to you on Monday, as our tickets company does not work on weekends. Sorry for letting you wait.
My price is based on Chinese lunches en route. Because you might end up your trip earlier in the afternoon, I’d like to give you more flexibility in choosing the preferred food for your dinner. But if you’d like us including dinners, please let me know.
It is said that no taste of the Quanjude Roasted Duck, no visit to Beijing. Therefore I quoted the special cuisine in Beijing (Peking Roast Duck) separately which is US$45/per person per meal with round way transfers and English speaking guide service. Pls let me know if you interested in it or not.
There are 2 famous Great Wall Sections in Beijing, one is Badaling section and the other one is Mutianyu Great Wall. Badaling is the most developed Great Wall in China, so it’s getting very commercial now. Most of the agents like to recommend it because it takes around 40 mins driving to get there and lots of shopping stores near around, but I want to show you the more beautiful and more worthy to go great wall, that’s Mutianyu Great Wall although it’s a little bit more expensive.
A preliminary quotation with a suggested itinerary is attached to this email, please let me know if you have other interests you'd like to include, or if I have missed any of your stated requirements; I would welcome the opportunity to ensure that your itinerary is exactly what you want.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
