Prepare insurance checks, help contacts and food experiences

Organise coverage, help routes and local food-experience checks without assessing health or entry eligibility or recommending insurance products. Food experiences and dietary communication use fixed example questions only.

Coverage and help checks

Preparation checks and mainland China help numbers; no personal safety, insurance-eligibility or health assessment.

Check itinerary and activities with your insurer

Confirm destinations, dates, activities, limits, excess and exclusions. Having a policy does not confirm coverage for this itinerary.

Assistance, evacuation and return travel

Check emergency treatment, transport/evacuation, necessary return travel and contact/prior-authorisation steps. Ask the insurer to explain your policy.

Keep policy and assistance details separately

Keep your policy, assistance contacts and claims requirements in your own secure records. Do not enter policy numbers, health history or identity details here.

Prepare a usable way to seek help

Check whether your phone can make calls, and keep accommodation and your country's consular contacts. A data plan does not automatically provide calls; language assistance and call connection have not been tested.

Keep help text and contact routes offline

Keep your accommodation's Chinese address, help numbers and your insurer's contact routes separately, then open them on your device without internet. Saving does not prove a call will connect or a service is confirmed.

Local food experience preparation

Fixed bilingual experience questions you can copy yourself. This site does not contact venues, reserve restaurants or food tours, make payments, or guarantee food, language assistance, transport or reception arrangements.

  • The experience type is undecided. These are questions to check, not verification of a local venue, price, opening hours or service availability.

Language and readable information

这次就餐或参观使用什么语言?菜单、配料与行程说明是否有我们能读懂的文本?如有人带领,请说明谁负责语言沟通以及具体包含哪些帮助。

Which language is used for the meal or visit? Are menus, ingredient details and itinerary notes available in a form we can read? If someone leads the experience, please explain who handles communication and exactly what help is included.

Location, meeting arrangements and transport

请确认地点中文全名、完整地址、集合或下车位置、开始时间和结束点;交通由谁安排、是否包含,以及晚到或找不到集合点时怎么办。

Please confirm the venue's full Chinese name, complete address, meeting or drop-off point, start time and finish point. Who arranges transport, is it included, and what should we do if late or unable to find the meeting point?

Price and inclusions

请说明每人或全组最终费用,以及餐食、试吃、饮料、交通、税费和服务费分别是否包含;额外点单或临时加购如何计费?

Please explain the final per-person or whole-group cost and whether meals, tastings, drinks, transport, taxes and service charges are included. How are additional orders or purchases charged?

Cancellation, changes and late arrival

请说明取消、退款、改期、人数变化和迟到条件;需要预约时,什么信息才代表实际确认?收到确认前我们不视为已预约。

Please explain cancellation, refunds, date changes, party-size changes and late-arrival terms. If a reservation is needed, what constitutes actual confirmation? We will not treat it as reserved before confirmation.

Check the actual ingredients item by item

请说明每道菜或试吃的实际配料,包括调料、油脂、高汤和饮料;如果食材或做法变化,能否在食用前说明?不能确认的成分请直接说未知。

Please explain the actual ingredients in each dish or tasting, including seasonings, fats, stocks and drinks. Can ingredient or preparation changes be explained before eating? Please state when an ingredient cannot be confirmed.

Shared equipment and cross-contact

请说明厨具、餐具、油锅和制作区域是否与其他食材共用,是否能确认具体安排;无法确认时请直接说明。这些问询不能保证配料、实际执行或过敏安全。

Please explain whether utensils, tableware, frying oil and preparation areas are shared with other ingredients, and whether the actual arrangements can be confirmed. Please state when they cannot. These questions do not guarantee ingredients, actual preparation or allergy safety.

Clarify the experience type first

请先说明这是自行就餐、市场参观还是有人组织的食品体验,并确认实际提供方和范围;类型未知时不假定有食团、导览或可预订服务。

Please clarify whether this is independent dining, a market visit or an organised food experience, and confirm the actual provider and scope. An unknown type does not imply a tour, guide or bookable service.

Fixed food communication phrases (optional)

Fixed communication examples, not certification of food, ingredients or cross-contact conditions. Staff understanding and actual preparation are unverified; no allergy-safety guarantee.

Which requests would you like to express?

No phrases selected; no dietary or health needs are inferred.
