1 . All foreigners to China must have a valid passport and a China visa. Note that the passport should be valid for a minimum of 6 months after your visit to China and the visa should be approved before you enter China. The most common type of visa is single-entry visa which is usually valid for 3 months and allows a maximum stay of 30 days.
2.  Visit Tibet: to enter Tibet, foreigners must hold a Tibet travel permit which shall be obtained 15 days before entering Tibet. A Tibet permit is sufficient if you only stay in Lhasa, however, if you want to extend to the “unopened” areas, an Alien’s travel permit issued by the PSB of Tibet is required. In addition to a travel permit, a fitness certificate from a registered doctor is also required to show that you’re fit to travel and your blood pressure and heart condition are normal to acclimatize the high altitude of Tibet.
3. Visit Hong Kong: People from most countries are exempted from applying for a China visa if only travel and stay in Hong Kong.
4. Just in case of need, we suggest you bring your medical record attached with your doctor’s name, address and phone number, emergency contact name and phone number, and your insurance company’s name, address and phone number.

However, professional guides are experts in their local regions and can provide you with deeper insights and detailed knowledge about the destinations you plan to visit. At ABZtrip, we generally provide free tour guides, and any exceptions will be clearly communicated in advance.

Based on our experience, the peak season in China occurs from April to May and September to October, when the weather is pleasant for travel. However, demand for hotels and flights is higher during this time, so early bookings are recommended. The shoulder season lasts from June to August and November, while the low season is from December to early March. For Tibet, the peak season is from July to October.
