• Your Trip Leader will give you details on the optional tours while you’re on the trip.
But if you’d like to look over descriptions of them earlier, you can do so at any time by
referring to your Day-to-Day Itinerary (available online by signing into My Account at
www.oattravel.com/myaccount).

Optional Tours: Reserve Before You Go

We strongly recommend that you reserve the following optional tours in advance. Unless
otherwise noted, the deadline to do so is 45 days prior to your departure. Occasionally, space
will be available for booking onsite, but this not guaranteed. Optional tours with O.A.T. can
only be purchased with a credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or a debit card with credit card
functionality. Because our headquarters are in Boston, charges may appear to be from Boston
or might be labeled as “OPT Boston” (depending on your credit card company).

Yunnan Cultural Performance & Dinner

Discover the 5,000-year-old tradition of Chinese folk dance updated with elements of
modern dance choreography, and presented in a dazzling stage production. After dinner
at a local restaurant, travelers on this optional tour will transfer to a theater to enjoy a
performance (approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes) of an original ethnic dance musical
featuring songs, music, costumes, and the dancing talents of various Yunnan ethnic
minorities who left their villages to join this troupe. This grand fusion of song and
dance should prove to be an entertaining evening of cultural insights.

Communications

To ensure you are available during your trip to friends and relatives at home, you will receive
two copies of your hotel list, including phone numbers, with your Final Documents. One
copy is for you to bring, and one to leave behind with friends or relatives in case they need to
contact you during the trip.

Cell Phones
If you want to use your cell phone on the trip, check with your phone provider to see if your
phone and service will work outside of the U.S. It may turn out to be cheaper to rent an
international phone or buy a SIM card onsite. If you want to use a local SIM, just make certain
your phone can accept one.
