The Situation

At the foot of 张家界国家森林公园 (Zhangjiajie National Forest Park), a group of tourists (旅游者 | lǚyóuzhě) check their 行李规定 (luggage regulations | xínglǐ guīdìng) one last time. They had gone to a 旅行社 (travel agency | lǚxíngshè) for 国际驾照 (international driving permit | guójì jiàzhào) and 健康证明 (health certificate | jiànkāng zhèngmíng). Their 旅游指南 (travel guide | lǚyóu zhǐnán) includes notes on 文化习俗 (cultural customs | wénhuà xísú) and 安全指南 (safety guidelines | ānquán zhǐnán). They planned their 行程规划 (itinerary | xíngchéng guīhuà) with precision, taking into account 时差 (jet lag | shíchā), 目的地 (destination | mùdìdì), and 交通工具 (transportation | jiāotōng gōngjù). The group discussed 气候 (climate | qìhòu) and 旅行装备 (travel equipment | lǚxíng zhuāngbèi) to ensure 文化适应 (cultural adaptation | wénhuà shìyìng). Their 时间规划 (time planning | shíjiān guīhuà) was meticulous, considering 旅行保障 (travel protection | lǚxíng bǎozhàng) and 健康保险 (health insurance | jiànkāng bǎoxiǎn). They also prepared for 紧急情况 (emergencies | jǐnjí qíngkuàng) and had contacts for 紧急救援 (emergency rescue | jǐnjí jiùyuán).
