[Peaceful Journey 2 Days 1 Night] Hangzhou, Mount Putuo

FAQ

Why is the per-person price higher for a solo booking than for a group booking on the same tour?

Solo travelers on this route are provided with a private car service, meaning you will have exclusive use of the vehicle, driver, and guide throughout the trip.
When multiple people book together, the vehicle and guide costs are shared among the group, reducing the per-person cost. As a solo traveler, the fee you pay covers the dedicated vehicle and driver-guide for your exclusive service. This tour is tailored specifically for you, so the service level differs from that of a multi-person group. The price difference reflects the fundamental distinction in service models. For more information, please contact customer service.

Why are children charged? How do I choose tickets if I'm unsure about my child's height?

The tour cost includes expenses such as the seat and guide service. These resources are calculated based on the number of travelers, so children must pay their share; bed fees and standard attraction tickets are waived.
If you're unsure about your child's height: select the ticket-free option when booking. Upon arrival at the attraction, your child's actual height will be checked. If they meet the ticketing requirements, you can pay the relevant admission fee on site.

Is the daily schedule too rushed? Can I set my own pace?

Our design philosophy is "in-depth experiences, no rushing around."
During the planning stage, we'll discuss your preferred travel pace. You can choose "compact" (2-3 attractions per day), "comfortable" (1-2 attractions per day with free time), or "relaxed" (main activities concentrated in half a day, with the rest free).
The actual pace during the trip is entirely up to you and your guide. If you're especially interested in a particular spot, you can stay longer; if you're tired, you can skip non-essential sites. Our guides adjust flexibly—no forced check-ins. The advantage of a small private group is that you call the shots, with no need to accommodate anyone else.

Can the itinerary be fully customized, or do I have to choose a fixed route?

We offer two itinerary modes—fully customized and semi-customized—to meet different needs.
Fully customized: Design your own exclusive itinerary from scratch based on your interests, schedule, and budget. Our travel designers will work with you one-on-one to recommend destinations, hotels, and activities, creating a unique route. Ideal for travelers with specific ideas or special needs (e.g., honeymoons, family trips, photography tours).
Semi-customized: If you prefer not to plan from scratch, choose one of our classic routes as a base and adjust it to your preferences—swap hotels, add or remove attractions, extend your stay somewhere, etc.
Either way, your trip is exclusive and private, with no joining other strangers on a group tour.

Can I choose my own hotels and restaurants on the 2-day tour?

Yes. You have full control over your itinerary.
Hotel selection: We provide a recommended list based on your budget and preferences, including international luxury chains, boutique design hotels, and distinctive guesthouses. You can pick from the list or specify your preferred hotel (subject to availability). Once confirmed, we will book and secure the room for you.
Restaurant selection: We offer two options. First, we can recommend well-reviewed local restaurants (no group meals—only independent restaurants). Second, you can choose your own restaurants, and your guide will help with reservations and ordering. If you're a food lover, you can also opt for our "in-depth culinary tour," where a professional food guide takes you to authentic private kitchens or Michelin-starred restaurants.
The final decision on all hotels and restaurants is yours—we simply provide professional advice and booking services.

What are the highlights of the Mount Putuo 2-day tour?

Mount Putuo is one of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains and the bodhimanda of Guanyin Bodhisattva. This 2-day tour lets you deeply experience the serenity and sanctity of the "Buddhist Kingdom over the Sea."
Day 1: After arriving on the island, visit Puji Temple, the main temple dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva on Mount Putuo. In front of the temple are Haiyin Pool and the Imperial Stele Pavilion, where incense burns year-round. Then pay respects at the South Sea Guanyin statue—a 33-meter-tall bronze figure facing the sea, solemn and compassionate, and an iconic landmark of Mount Putuo.
Day 2: Head to Fayu Temple to admire the Ming Dynasty architectural masterpiece of the Nine Dragon Hall, then climb Foding Mountain for a panoramic view of the island. You can also stroll along Qianbu Beach, listening to the tides and watching the waves to soak in the unique atmosphere of the "Buddhist Kingdom over the Sea."
The 2-day tour has a relaxed pace, with overnight stays on the island so you can truly immerse yourself in the chanting and sea breeze.

What happens if the weather is bad or an attraction closes unexpectedly?

We have comprehensive contingency plans to ensure your travel experience is not affected.
Early warning: Your guide monitors weather and attraction announcements daily. In case of bad weather or sudden closures, they will contact you immediately to adjust the plan.
Backup options: We pre-design alternative attractions and activities for every itinerary. For example, if an outdoor site closes due to rain, it can be replaced with a museum, indoor performance, or craft workshop.
Force majeure: If extreme weather, natural disasters, or other force majeure events prevent the entire trip from continuing, we will handle it according to the force majeure clause in your booking confirmation and assist you in coordinating refunds or rescheduling with hotels and airlines.
Real-time communication: All adjustments will only be made with your consent. Your safety and experience are always our top priority.
