Precautions for Traveling in Xinjiang
Preparations Before Departure
(1) Basic Precautions
1. Before traveling, tourists should consider their physical condition and are advised to undergo a physical examination before the trip. Tourists who are physically weaker or have previously suffered from illnesses must continue their treatment to prevent recurrence of old illnesses. Elderly people often suffer from various chronic conditions and require medication for daily treatment. When traveling, they must not forget to take their medication, as failure to do so may lead to recurrence of old illnesses, worsening of symptoms, or deterioration in health.
2. Before departure, tourists should pack some essential and commonly used medications (such as cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, motion sickness medication, etc.) according to their physical condition, and prepare clothing and rain gear according to weather changes. To prevent the occurrence of fire accidents, please do not carry flammable or explosive materials, and do not litter cigarette butts or kindling.
3. Many hotels nowadays are eco-friendly and do not provide toiletries. Please bring your own toiletries.
4. Before departure, arrange corresponding matters at home, inform your family members of your travel itinerary and the emergency contact information of the travel agency. At the same time, you can also provide the travel agency with your family members’ emergency contact information. Leave a copy of your ID card and passport with your family for use in case of emergencies.
5. Please make sure to bring valid identification such as ID cards, personal travel essentials, vehicle and ship tickets, airplane tickets, etc., and arrive at the agreed meeting point on time. Do not be late. Some scenic spots offer discounts for military personnel, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. Please show your identification to the tour guide in advance so they can purchase discounted tickets for you. If you show your identification to the tour guide after the tickets have been purchased, you will not be eligible for the discount.
6. When traveling outside, the weather may be unpredictable. Please bring an umbrella to prepare for unexpected needs.
Lodging Precautions
1. Upon arrival at the hotel, tourists must follow the tour guide’s arrangements; hotel accommodations are principally arranged on a two-per-room basis. In the case of single male or female travelers, the travel agency will switch to a double room for married couples or adjust to a triple room; arrangements for accompanying children will be based on whether a bed is contracted for in the agreement. If tourists specifically request a single room, please pay the single room difference before departure and obtain confirmation from the travel agency to avoid disputes during the trip.
2. After checking into the hotel, tourists should understand the hotel’s safety instructions and familiarize themselves with the locations of the emergency exits, safety exits, and safety staircases, as well as the routes for safe evacuation. Please keep the room card or key safe and inspect the facilities in the room (bathroom equipment, remote control, ashtray, towels, bath towels, etc.) for any damage, shortages, or contamination. If any damage, shortages, or contamination are found, please inform the hotel promptly to avoid unnecessary trouble when checking out. Tourists who have dyed their hair should bring their own towel, pillowcase, or wait until their hair is dry before sleeping to avoid staining the hotel’s pillow.
3. When using hotel items, please check whether they are free of charge. If tourists use items that require payment, please settle the related fees on your own when checking out (such as beverages, food, laundry, phone calls, paid TV programs, paid internet, etc.).
4. The floor and bathtub are prone to slipping when bathing, so make sure to place the anti-slip mat properly to prevent falls and injuries. Avoid bathing after drinking alcohol, do not take sauna baths, and do not let elderly people or children bathe unattended. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid bathing with excessively hot water to prevent blood pressure from rising and causing discomfort.
5. Do not casually tell strangers the hotel you are staying at or your room number, do not let strangers or self-proclaimed hotel maintenance personnel enter your room randomly, lock the door when entering and leaving the room, and make sure to check if the windows and doors are properly closed and the safety lock is engaged before going to bed;
6. When tourists need to go out after checking into the hotel, they should inform the tour guide and write down their contact information. Before going out, pick up a room card from the hotel front desk. If tourists get lost, they can safely and smoothly return to the hotel by following the phone number and address indicated on the room card.
7. If tourists choose to use the hotel’s fitness and entertainment facilities (such as swimming pools, gyms, etc.), please be sure to pay attention to personal and property safety; for activities not arranged by the travel agency, the travel agency’s obligation is limited to reminding and informing.
8. In case of an emergency, please do not panic: In case of a fire, do not take the elevator or jump out of the window randomly. Stay calm, assess the situation, and actively take self-rescue actions; if your clothes catch fire, roll on the ground or use heavy clothing to smother the flames; when you must pass through corridors or passages filled with smoke, cover your body with soaked clothing, cover your mouth and nose, crawl close to the ground and along the wall; if you are trapped by fire and cannot escape, cover your body with soaked clothing, block the door gap with quilts or pour water to cool down.
