[Registration Instructions]
． The minimum age requirement for this Jiaming Lake hiking tour is 18 years and older, but the minimum age requirement is 65 years and younger.
． Due to Jiaming Lake's limited daily admission quota and the high number of applicants, to accommodate the lottery schedule, registration for this tour is only open 35 days in advance to avoid being caught short of a spot.
． This tour will apply for a hut/campsite lottery on your behalf. To ensure a smooth application process, please complete your registration immediately after booking. Failure to complete this form will result in your cancellation and disqualification, and a cancellation fee will be charged according to the cancellation policy. Please agree to this before registering!
． Lottery Results: Hut application results will typically be notified by email approximately 25 days prior to departure. If you are not selected, you will be notified before departure to reschedule or receive a full refund.
． Once you've been confirmed as a participant at Jiaming Lake, you cannot change your list. If you cancel for any reason, please refer to the cancellation policy.
． Participant information must include an "emergency contact person." This person cannot be a fellow participant. Also, please note that "Mountain climbing experience" requires "name of a mountain climbed within the past two years."
． If you don't select a hut, you will be assigned a campsite. Please confirm that you can stay overnight at a campsite before registering. If you choose to stay at a campsite, the difference in the amount will be refunded (refunds will be calculated based on weekdays and holidays).
． The fee includes accommodations at the hut or campsite. If you select a hut, you do not need to provide a sleeping mat (huts come with mattresses). If you select a campsite, you will be required to pitch a tent. The fee includes a tent and sleeping bag, but you must provide your own sleeping mat.
． Before registering, please confirm that you are in good health and suitable for mountain climbing and outdoor hiking. Those with heart conditions, fear of heights, high blood pressure, pregnancy, or other conditions that would make them unsuitable for outdoor activities, or those who are too young or physically unable to complete the tour independently, should not register.
．We attach great importance to the alpine environment and the "Leave No Trace" initiative. Littering and dumping of kitchen waste are strictly prohibited. Please respect the beautiful mountains and forests by placing your own trash in a trash bag and carrying it down the mountain. If you disagree, please do not register.
．In the event of force majeure on the day of departure, the guide reserves the right to change the itinerary and refund the fee after deducting necessary expenses. If the tour is affected by personal reasons, no refunds or extensions will be granted.

[ Itinerary Description ]
．This 4-day, 3-night Jiaming Lake hiking tour offers no utility (gas, cooking utensils) required, and communal meals (breakfast and dinner).
． Lunch will be served in the mountains. Please prepare your own food for both days (e.g., bread, dried meat, digestive biscuits, bacon, etc.) for easy portability and immediate consumption.

Vegetarians on the Jiaming Lake hiking tour will primarily use hot pot vegetables. Please understand that mountain ingredients may be difficult to obtain.

Please arrive on time for the hiking trip. Late arrivals will be deemed as forfeiture and no refund will be given.

Please be vigilant during the trip and follow the instructions of the tour leader or guide. Unauthorized risk-taking and leaving the group are strictly prohibited. Outdoor sports are inherently dangerous and unpredictable, and participants bear full responsibility for their own actions and the consequences.

During the Jiaming Lake hiking trip, if a companion encounters a life-threatening situation, the entire group will retreat together without objection. Furthermore, as a hiking group is legally considered a "community of danger," all participants must retreat together.
