As a foreigner missing the passport during your time in China, you need to report to the local police station where you lost it, tell them how you lost it and get the certification they provide you, then obtain a Statement of Lost Passport from the Exit & Entry Bureau (EEB), which is under the Public Security Bureau (PSB), then you can apply for a replacement passport in the Embassy of your country in China.

Do you offer any discounts? I read about you in Luxe Guide/on Trip Advisor. You were recommended to me by a friend.
We very appreciate the referrals and recommendations. As a small business, word of mouth and reviews are extremely important to us. Our pricing is based on the expertise of our guides, our service standard, and our uniqueness. We are exceptionally proud of the value we offer our clients. In order to recruit and retain the best caliber of guides, we compensate our guides fairly based on their work, not on commissions from tourist shops providing kickbacks. Read more about our policy of no commissions (link). Based on our compensation model, we are unable to offer discounts on our quoted prices. It is our policy and practice to use a standardized price schedule for all our clients.
