3. Flexibly arrange meal times and rest periods
Seniors need regular meal times; recommended restaurants (such as halal restaurants or local specialty eateries) can be marked on the itinerary with sufficient meal time reserved.
Arrange 1-2 hours of afternoon rest daily, avoiding continuous sightseeing for more than 3 hours.
