Travel Tips
1. Traveling in winter, it can be quite cold, so travelers are advised to take good warm clothing, including a hat and gloves.
2. Some of the footpaths into several of the villages can be quite muddy and slippery, so good footwear is essential. A second pair of sport pants is a good idea, as there is a lot of mud, and the occasional slip is almost inevitable.
3. As the tour includes a fair amount of walking up and down steep mountain paths, a reasonable level of fitness is advisable
4. Hotels in small towns such as Rongjiang and Congjiang are of significantly lower standard. Heating is sometimes not available and western style toilets usually unavailable.
