PHP 36,335 per person, which is USD 559 at the rate we use, for four days in Chongqing with the airfare in the price and no shopping stops anywhere in the itinerary.
This is the short Chongqing. Three nights in one hotel near Jiangbei, and the days spent on the parts of the city people actually come for: Liziba Station with the light rail running through the building, the Yangtze River Cableway, Eling Erchang up on the ridge, the Mountain City Trail, Shibati, Daijia Alley, Danzishi and Hongya Cave lit up after dark. Ciqikou Ancient Town is on the last morning before the flight.
One unusual inclusion worth naming: fuel surcharge increases are covered, so the airline cannot come back for more after you have paid.

It is, and we would rather say so. Our Chongqing 5 Days 4 Nights no shopping tour starts at PHP 32,435, almost PHP 4,000 less for an extra day. The difference is the airline and the departure dates: that one flies Xiamen Air with a connection, this one is Air China direct. If price is the deciding factor, take the 5 day. If you want the direct flight and a shorter trip, take this one.
Yes. No compulsory shopping stops appear anywhere in the itinerary and there is no skip charge in the paperwork. The Ring Shopping Mall and Guanyinqiao on Day 4 are ordinary sightseeing, not jade or latex showrooms.
If the airline raises its fuel surcharge between your booking and your departure, the operator absorbs it. On most China tours that increase is passed on to you. It is a small thing but it is real.
USD 40 group visa, USD 30 Philippine travel tax and USD 20 tips, all collected with your tour fee, so USD 90 or about PHP 5,850. Then dinner on two of the three nights, and the single supplement of USD 100 only if you want your own room.
Very. CA482 leaves Manila between 01:50 and 02:25 depending on the date, which means being at the airport late on the previous evening. You land in time for breakfast and start touring straight away, so Day 1 is long on a short night.
No. Three nights in the same hotel near Chongqing Jiangbei. You unpack once.
Philippine passport holders need a Chinese visa. This tour uses a group visa which the operator arranges for USD 40 per person. Because it is a group visa, you travel in and out with the group.
