USD 999 per person for northeast China, right up against the Korean border, with 5 star hotels the whole way and round trip airfare from Manila.
Day 3 is the whole point. Changbai Mountain North Scenic Area, and at the top of it Tianchi, Heaven Lake, sitting in the crater of a volcano with the Chinese and North Korean border running straight through the water. The shuttle bus, the eco bus and the transfer bus are all included, which matters because you cannot drive yourself up. The same day takes in the Changbai Waterfall and the Julong hot springs where the ground steams.
Yanji is Korean Chinese territory and it shows. The folk culture park has costumes you can wear, and at Baihuagu on Day 2 you make kimchi and rice cakes yourself. There are no shopping stops on this itinerary.

You go up to it on Day 3 and the transport is all included. What nobody can promise is the weather. Changbai Mountain makes its own cloud and the crater is fogged in on a fair number of days, so you may look at white rather than blue water. That is the nature of the place and it is not something a tour operator controls.
No. This itinerary carries none. Your guide will offer souvenirs on the bus, which you can ignore entirely.
Yes. Round trip Manila to Changchun with China Southern, connecting at Guangzhou both ways. Flight numbers differ on several of the departure dates, so the times in the itinerary are a guide and we confirm your actual flights at booking.
Cold, and colder than most people from the Philippines expect. Changbai Mountain is high, and even on September and October departures the summit is much colder than the cities below it. Bring a proper jacket, not a light one.
Sep 11 and Sep 12 are the low departures at USD 899. Sep 13 and Oct 18 are standard at USD 999. Oct 11 and Oct 16 are peak at USD 1,049. All three tiers are shown separately on the booking calendar.
A child with a bed is the same price as an adult on every tier. A child aged 2 to 10 without a bed is USD 839 on the low tier, USD 939 on standard and USD 989 on peak.
Yes, a China group visa at USD 40 per person, collected with your tour fee. The whole group travels on one visa, so you cannot arrive early or stay on afterwards.
