- We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. If any itineraries don't mention No Shopping Stops, they MUST have shopping stops as factory of terracotta warriors or the tea ceremony. Even you don't see shopping related words, in their spamming itineraries, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with the operators about the shopping stops. By joining a shopping tour, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and might be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called tea ceremony or the factory of terracotta warriors is the tourist trap. You have to spend an hour or more for travel agents to get the commission. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops.

While Beijing is really a very large city, to ensure the morning pick-up going smoothly as scheduled, we suggest you choose centrally located downtown hotels.

For any pick-up issues, your one-on-one travel consultant is ready to help anytime.
