From PHP 32,435 per person, which is USD 499 at the rate we use, for five days in Chongqing with the airfare included and not one shopping stop in the itinerary. The operator states it plainly: no compulsory shopping.
That matters more than it sounds. Most China group tours at this price bury four stops of 90 minutes each in the schedule and charge you USD 150 to USD 300 to skip them. This one does not, and you stay in the same Chongqing hotel for all four nights, so the time goes on the city instead of on coaches and shop floors.
You get Liziba Station with the train through the building, Ciqikou Ancient Town, Jiefangbei, Shibati, the Yangtze River Cableway, Chaotianmen Square, the Chongqing Zoo panda house, Guanyinqiao and Hongya Cave lit up at night. Prices move a lot by date, from PHP 32,435 up to PHP 55,185 over Christmas and late March, so check the calendar before you settle on a week.

Price Excludes
The rate above covers what is listed under Price Includes. These are the costs that land on top of it. We would rather you saw the real number now than found it later.
Booking Information – Upon booking, please expect an email from us with your voucher, your reminders and what happens next.
Airfare – Round trip airfare is included in the price, along with airport tax and the terminal fee. The China group visa is arranged by the operator and collected with your tour fee.
Hotel – Rooms are twin sharing. Standard check-in is 2PM and check out is 12NN unless the itinerary says otherwise. Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability and fees. Children are arranged in the same room as their parents. If an extra room is needed, or for special requests, additional costs will apply.
Dates – Every departure is priced on its own date in the calendar above. Rates are subject to change and all rooms are subject to availability.
Yes. The operator states that no compulsory shopping stops are included in the itinerary, and there is no skip charge anywhere in the paperwork. The Ring Shopping Park on Day 5 and the Guanyinqiao and Bayi food streets are ordinary sightseeing stops, not jade or latex showrooms.
Airfare. The operator prices by departure date, so early November is PHP 32,435 while the 22 and 29 December runs are PHP 51,935 and 23 March is PHP 55,185. The itinerary and the hotel are identical on every date. If you are flexible, take a November or early January departure.
It is an overnight. MF8648 leaves Manila at 21:00 and lands in Chongqing at 00:30, so you meet your guide in the small hours and go to bed. There is no sightseeing on Day 1 and your first full day is Day 2.
No. Four nights in the same Chongqing hotel. You unpack once.
USD 40 group visa, USD 30 Philippine travel tax and USD 25 tips, all collected with your tour fee, so USD 95 or about PHP 6,175. Then your Day 4 dinner and anything optional. Single supplement is USD 120 if you want your own room.
Yes, one way across the river. It is the old commuter cable car, not a tourist attraction built for the view, which is part of why it is worth doing.
Children aged 6 and over need their own bed and pay the adult rate. Children aged 2 to 5 without a bed pay USD 20 less than the adult rate on every departure, so PHP 1,300 off.
