Practical guide

Plan around the correct hospital campus

Large hospitals may have several campuses. Confirm the exact address and department before choosing a hotel or booking transport.

Transport checklist

  • Save the hospital name and full address in Chinese
  • Confirm the campus, building, department and appointment time
  • Allow extra time for traffic, security, registration and wayfinding
  • Use the official China Railway 12306 service for rail travel and keep the passport used for booking
  • Arrange suitable transport after procedures or sedation instead of traveling alone

Accommodation checklist

Ask the hotel first

Confirm passport registration, international card acceptance, accessibility and late arrival arrangements.

Choose practical distance

Consider the actual hospital campus, repeat visits, nearby food and pharmacy access.

Plan for a companion

Check room occupancy, extra bed options and whether a caregiver needs separate accommodation.

Keep plans flexible

Avoid non-refundable bookings until the hospital confirms dates and the patient is fit to travel.
