• All the town and cities we will visit in Yunnan Province are at a high altitude, so will be cold at night.

• Shanghai might be quite hot and humid.

Packing• Pack reasonably nice

clothes which are comfortable and will not show the dirt too much.

• You can hand wash some of your clothes if you want.

• Washing kit• Basic first aid

kit/medication bag

• Inform us about any medical issues you have or any health related incidents which happen on the trip.

Shopping

• There will be lots of opportunities for shopping. Don’t spend all your money at once. The best places for buying gifts and souvenirs will probably be Dali and Lijiang

Money

• You can buy Yuan in Jersey, but unless you buy a lot, you will not get a much better rate than at Heathrow

• You will need money to buy meals in airports, but not for any other meals.

• Bring money for snacks and drinks• The rest is for souvenirs and gifts.• £80-150 should be plenty
