    Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with booking international flights. However, you can book your flights independently.
    
    Regarding your visa question, Australian passport holders can currently enter China visa free for tourism purposes for up to 30 days. However, entry requirements can change, so we recommend checking the latest advice with the Chinese Embassy or official government sources before travelling.
    
    Accommodation upgrades are not available, as the group stays together in the same hotels throughout the trip.
    
    Regarding vegetarian meals, you should have plenty of options available throughout China. There are usually a variety of meat-free dishes on menus, including vegetables, tofu, and egg-based meals, and your trip leader will be able to recommend local favourites.

    If purchasing the single supplement, the rooms may still have two twin beds similar to our regular room-sharing rooms. However, we can often request double bed rooms with our local team where possible.

  Visa

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

    Many countries require a visa and obtaining the correct visa for your trip and any countries you may transit through is your responsibility. We recommend checking the most current requirements for your nationality with your consulate or embassy before your trip, as entry requirements can change. We are unable to advise on this as we do not work closely with government consulates. You will be provided with a Hotel List and Letter of Invitation to assist you in applying for your visa.

  I want to know about the pricing. Is the price per person or the group. If you have 10 people can we pay the difference. We would pay for the two empty spots to have a group tour of 10. Also how do we hold the reservation and have people pay? What is the payment plan info.

  Can I fly from Miami to Shanghai

  Flights / Transfers
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025

    You can definitely fly from Miami to Shanghai, but there might not be direct flights. You will need to take a connecting flight. Please check on this with your selected airlines. Shanghai has two main airports: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) – This is the primary international airport in Shanghai, handling most long-haul flights. Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) – This airport mainly serves domestic and some regional flights. When booking your flight, make sure your arrival airport is either Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA).
