This trip will cover several thousand miles and visit some of china’s most spectacular sites, the going would be tough if we used trains all the way so train travel has been limited to avoid this. All flights are internal domestic and as such prices are fixed and non negotiable. The experience for this trip will be one of majestic splendour in the natural beauty of China, as well as one of the mystical intrigue of the ancient theology .
Trip Payment
The cost of the trip is provisionally set at £1,500, this will include all flights and trains, accommodation, taiji training, tour information, the services of myself and my expertise and of course whatever else is needed as when it comes up. I would also advise that if the price of flights increase this will be reflected in the price of the trip, due to the fact that the cost is kept at the very minimum so there is very little room for price variations.
A deposit of £500 per person is needed as soon as possible ( £250 of which is non refundable unless I can resell your place), it is suggested that the balance be paid in increments of £250 per month in July and August with the balance payable by the 22nd of September.
