Currency Converter

  Our Private Tour is customized for you or your personal group specially. You will enjoy our private guide, driver as well as car service during the whole land tour individually, instead of sharing with other travelers.


When you withdraw money from the ATM, always don't forget print the receipt. Then if you encounter a fake money, you could ask the bank where your transaction happened for help in right of the receipt.

If you got the fake money from the street vendors, I am afraid only what you can do is to admit your bad luck.

When i got a counterfeit currency in China, what should i do? Whom i can turn to for favor? Or i only can keep it silently. Is it possible to withdraw false money from the ATM? If so, can i ask the bank stuff for help?

Tips before traveling Tibet

Although Tibet is a mysterious and beautiful place, worth of visiting, the climate condition is really a must to be think of. Most travelers will get mountain sickness when on the Tibetan plateau. Some one even can not stand it. Thus, before you go to Tibet, it is quite essential to consult your doctor and make a thorough physical examination. Our agency also suggest have less activities before entering Tibet and have a good rest night before. When I arrived in Tibet, I feel short of breathing and needed to use the oxygen equipment. Fortunatelly, I overcame my scare to the mountain sickness under my guide's help. She told me that short of breathing is not serious, I need to calm down and tried to avoid using the oxygen equipment, so that i can acclimate myself to the high altitude very quickly. This is really helpful. cause of the altitude sickness, i also felt no appetite at all. Our guide bought some fruits for us which helped us a lot.
