Indicative land budget

US$9,800-13,800 per person

Indicative land budget for 15 days, based on four guests sharing, three proposed rounds, a premium downstream cruise cabin, domestic transport, private touring and luxury hotels.

• Yangtze sailing date and cabin category
• Spring City layout allocation and golf access
• Domestic flight routing from Yichang to Guangzhou
• Hotel and guide level in each city

This is a planning range, not a fixed package price. Cruise sailing, cabin category, golf access, domestic flight timing and hotel category are confirmed in the dated proposal.

Hotel and room plan

Spring City or luxury Kunming resort stay, boutique Lijiang hotel, luxury Chongqing city hotel, premium Yangtze cabin and luxury Guangzhou hotel

Use twin rooms for golf pairs and king rooms for couples. Cruise cabin choice is made deliberately because river views, balcony type and deck position materially affect the experience.

Specific hotels remain proposed until room type, benefits, taxes, cancellation terms and operating status are confirmed for the dates.

Course confirmation and alternatives

01Confirm dates, player count and golf priorities
02Check Spring City and Lijiang access, maintenance, weather and tee-time windows
03Match the Lijiang round to altitude comfort and flight timing
04Reconfirm golf, cruise embarkation and shore arrangements before arrival

Alternative plan

Hold a confirmed Spring City alternative in Kunming. If Lijiang high-altitude golf cannot proceed, use a mountain, old-town or spa day rather than forcing an unsuitable replacement round.

Before you travel

Yangtze sailing is date-specific

Chongqing-to-Yichang downstream sailings are commonly four days and three nights, but ship, berth, shore excursions and arrival port depend on the confirmed sailing and water conditions.

Lijiang altitude

High-altitude golf stays optional. Guests should follow their own medical guidance and we keep a non-golf cultural alternative available.

Golf bags and flight sectors

Domestic flight and rail sectors are only finalized after bag count and hard-case dimensions are known. Private transfers are arranged so guests do not manage bags during embarkation.

Make the key decisions before you book

Use these practical guides alongside the dated proposal; entry rules, carrier conditions and club access must always be checked for your exact trip.

Route FAQ

Questions specific to this journey

Why is there no golf in Chongqing or Guangzhou?+

The route is intentionally weighted toward Yunnan golf. Chongqing is kept for city touring and embarkation, while Guangzhou is a cultural and culinary recovery finish after the cruise.

Is the Chongqing-to-Yichang cruise always three nights?+

Many downstream sailings follow a four-day, three-night pattern, but the selected ship, sailing date, water level and shore program determine the final schedule.

Can we add a Guangzhou-area round?+

Yes, but it is an optional extension. The core 15-day design deliberately ends without golf so the final days remain relaxed.
