Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable beds or coach beds, participants booking for a 3rd person and/or child are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the type of bed.

Although the climate varies from region to region in China, which has a very large land area, it is generally a country that experiences all four seasons. Summers in the country are extremely humid, so temperatures feel higher than they are. Spring and autumn, on the other hand, are ideal with their mild weather.
FOOD CULTURE
Chinese cuisine is an extremely rich cuisine that varies from region to region. Peking Duck, pastries prepared with various ingredients and eaten with sauces called “dumpling,” and sweet mustard sauces are characteristic features of the country's cuisine. We recommend that you keep in mind that it is a cuisine different from Turkish cuisine.

In China, electricity is 220 volts and 50 Hz. Three-pin, narrow-slot sockets are used for electrical devices. An adapter will be required. Socket Types: A / C / I
SHOPPING
China is a true shopping paradise. From electronic goods to textiles, you can find every product you are looking for in a wide range.
