Travel made seamless
Hotels, guides and transfers work together.
Your hotel level, guided days, transfers, route transport and principal admissions are planned together. We check availability for your dates before payment.
Stay
Four nights in Ctrip 4-Diamond-standard hotels with breakfast, based on twin sharing, including one on Nan'ao and one in Chaozhou. Your written confirmation shows the exact hotel, room type, single supplement and whether your Nan'ao room has a direct sea view.
Guide, transport and admissions
Included: one private vehicle with bridge tolls and parking, airport or station transfers, the listed admissions and fish-raft or cultural experiences, daily bottled water and basic China-based travel accident insurance. Your quote spells out guide language, service days and vehicle class.
Before you choose
How much is this Chaozhou and Shantou tour per person?
Starting prices per person are USD 420 for 2 travellers, USD 280 for 4 and USD 250 for 6. Each booking has one private vehicle, so in a bigger group its cost is shared by more people. Other group sizes are quoted on request, and we confirm the room plan and vehicle class before sending your final total.
What does the price include?
Four Ctrip 4-Diamond-standard hotel nights with breakfast (two sharing a room), one private vehicle with bridge tolls and parking, airport or station transfers, the listed admissions and fish-raft or cultural experiences, daily bottled water and basic China-based travel accident insurance. No shopping stops.
Are lunches and dinners included?
No. Hotel breakfasts are included, but all other food and restaurant bills are yours to pay, so you can eat where you like. You'll get local tips on what to eat, and Day 5 leaves time for a food stop before you leave.
Does the Nan'ao island day depend on the weather?
Yes. The island day depends on weather and safe operating conditions, and going out to sea depends on weather and permission. Your confirmation shows whether your Nan'ao room has a direct sea view; boat or fish-raft activities not listed there are not included.
Which language does the guide speak, and on which days?
Your quote spells out the guide language, which days include guide service and the vehicle class, and we confirm them in writing before you pay. On Day 1 the driver meets you and takes you to your Shantou hotel, with no set sightseeing.
How do booking and payment work?
Send your dates, rooming, arrival details and luggage count. We confirm the hotels, transport, guide coverage, any seasonal supplements and the final total in writing before you pay. Single-room supplements, room upgrades and holiday surcharges are extra.
