Dear friends, kindly read the following terms before confirming your visit.

Please refrain from booking a retreat, if you do not agree with any part of these terms.

Thank you!

1. House Rules:
In this space, everyone is equal, regardless of social position. This includes the locals who work for us.

We will take care of and host our guests genuinely, like good friends. However, this differs from the “guest-prioritized” services offered in premium resorts and hotels.

Insulting or disrespectful language, personal attacks, and physical violence are prohibited at A Bright Place. In the unlikely event of such behavior, Ting has the right to terminate the retreat and request the guest(s) to leave immediately. In such a situation, any remaining days of the retreat are forfeited and non-refundable.

2. Honest Aspects About Shaxi:
Shaxi is an authentic mountain village in rural China, where everything is lagging behind.

There are no luxury services or modern entertainments available. Due to limited education, locals, especially in the villages, may not have the same environmental cleanliness consciousness as those in first-world countrysides.

In the villages, you will see cows and goats, so please expect their smells and occasionally their droppings on the ground.

As we live close to the earth, there will inevitably be dust, insects, spiders, and flies.

You may encounter nearby construction work and hear it, as Shaxi is changing due to the increasing inflow of tourists and outsiders.

3. Safety:
Travel insurance is compulsory for each guest. Please send us your travel insurance information before arriving.

4. Changes to Terms:
We reserve the right to update or modify these terms and conditions at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.
