🌟Highlights:
1. The biggest feature of this itinerary is accommodation. As the mobility of the elderly deteriorates, choosing a hotel close to the scenic spot becomes a necessary condition for a comfortable journey. Except for the hotel in Tiantangzhai which has rural rooms with average conditions, the other hotels chosen for this route are close to the scenic area and have good accommodation environment and rich breakfast. As the formation time is relatively long, a hot spring hotel is arranged in the middle period, where the elders can take a bath and relax. The last night at Hankou Railway Station Hello Hotel is right next to the Hankou Railway Station Square. The elders can have a good night's sleep and then return by high-speed rail with their luggage.
2. The mountain attractions in the travel route have direct cable car access or the slopes are relatively gentle, which are suitable for visits by the elderly.
3. My parents are 76 years old and most of the friends traveling with me are over 70 years old. The travel time is 10 days + 2 days of return time, a total of 12 days. Due to the comfortable accommodation and friendly and soothing itinerary, the elders had a wonderful travel time smoothly and happily.
💰Per capita consumption:
The cost of accommodation, a 12-seat vehicle, a tour guide, and insurance for a driver totaled 31,925 yuan for 8 people, an average of 3,990.63 yuan per person.
👍Most Recommended:
I posted my needs on Trip.com and found a more suitable travel agency to provide travel customization services. The contract was signed on the Trip.com platform. During the period, the travel agency that provided the service stated that the hotel agreed in the contract had no vacancies and needed to be replaced by another hotel. Later, with the intervention of Trip.com platform, the travel agency provided the rooms of the agreed hotel as agreed. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the contract must be signed on the Trip.com platform to ensure the quality of service.
