Quotation

The quotation is worked out basing on a group of 16 people or more, hotel and airfares at March 2001.

The quotation includes international back-and-forth airfares between China and United States (not covering airfare between your city to the departure city), accommodation, meals, guide service, sightseeing, transportation (air fares in China, bus and train) and airport tax.
