China Yangtze River Cruise Tours

Besides your visa, it’s recommended to have:

• Return flight tickets
• Accommodation information
• Proof of sufficient funds

Always check official sources before your trip, as regulations may change.

You will need to prepare the following documents: a valid passport and visa, previous medical records (including diagnosis reports, examination results and imaging data), which are preferably translated into English or Chinese, and a copy of your travel insurance policy. Our team will send you a detailed document checklist via email well before your departure date.

Group tours consist of travellers who have booked the same itinerary on the same departure date. Minimum traveller requirements, where applicable, are listed on each tour page.

Most travelers require a visa or electronic travel authorization to enter Japan or China. Please check the official government websites for the most up-to-date information:

• Japan visa information: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan
• China visa information: Under China’s 2026 visa-free policy, passport holders from a growing list of eligible countries may enter China without a visa for stays of up to 30 days for tourism, business, visiting family, cultural exchange and certain short-term purposes. This arrangement is currently extended through the end of 2026. Chinese Visa Application Service

Your health and safety are paramount to Three Bears Travel. Some of our itineraries include difficult conditions which can make physical activities challenging. You should be in reasonably good health and be able to participate in all activities unaided. We recommend you see your doctor at least six weeks prior to travel for advice and to allow time for any necessary vaccinations. Please remember to take your itinerary with you.

Passengers with existing medical conditions and food allergies must advise Three Bears Travel at time of booking.

Yes, we welcome children of all ages to join our tours.
For families travelling with younger children, we recommend choosing a customised itinerary, which offers greater flexibility in pacing, attractions and daily schedules—ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable experience for both parents and children.

Our service does not end when you leave China. We will provide you with detailed medical reports in both Chinese and English, summarizing your diagnosis, treatment process and follow-up recommendations. After you return to Australia, our team will continue to provide remote support throughout your recovery period—we will answer any questions you may have about your treatment or recovery, and assist you with relevant health management matters as needed.

Different tour types have different minimum traveller requirements. Each itinerary page will clearly indicate the minimum number of travellers needed for that specific tour to operate.

If your group does not meet the minimum number but you would still like to travel, we are happy to arrange a Custom Tour tailored specifically to your preferred dates, group size and interests. Simply contact us with your requirements, and we will create a personalised itinerary for you.
