China Guilin Tours

We will always try to accommodate special requests. Please inform us at the time of booking if you have medical needs, dietary requirements, mobility concerns or other important details.

Our service fees only include basic services such as hospital registration, appointment booking, as well as basic medical items including health screenings, teeth cleaning and oral examinations. Any subsequent treatment costs will be clearly communicated to you in advance with our assistance, and you will make on-site payments directly to the hospital. We will provide a detailed, itemized cost breakdown before you confirm the trip, with no hidden charges of any kind.

• Japan: Generally very safe. Standard precautions like keeping belongings secure, using well-lit streets, and following local laws are sufficient.

• China: Urban areas are mostly safe, but exercise caution in crowded tourist spots. Avoid displaying large amounts of cash and use official taxis or ride-hailing apps.

• Three Bears Travel support: Your guide can advise on local safety tips, accompany you in unfamiliar areas, and help with emergency contacts.

We recommend planning ahead to ensure a smooth experience. For specialist treatments and surgical procedures, it is advisable to plan 3–6 months in advance, allowing sufficient time for medical consultations, hospital appointment scheduling and travel arrangement. For basic health screenings, a shorter planning period of 4–6 weeks is usually sufficient. The standard planning process is: initial consultation → hospital matching → travel arrangement → departure.

Most travellers come from Australia, New Zealand and the UK, though occasionally English-speaking guests from other countries join our tours.

The recovery period varies depending on the type and complexity of the surgery. Your treating physicians from our partnered hospitals will provide you with a clear, personalized post-operative recovery plan, including guidance on rest, medication and rehabilitation exercises. If needed, we can arrange an extended stay in rehabilitation-friendly destinations such as Guilin, and assist in booking professional physiotherapy and wellness services to support your recovery process.

Besides your visa, it’s recommended to have:

• Return flight tickets
• Accommodation information
• Proof of sufficient funds

Always check official sources before your trip, as regulations may change.

• Japan: Japanese Yen (JPY). Cash is still widely used, especially in smaller shops, rural areas, and temples. Credit cards are commonly accepted in major hotels, department stores, and restaurants in big cities.
• China: Chinese Yuan (CNY / Renminbi). While cash is accepted, mobile payments like Alipay and WeChat Pay are widely used. Some international credit cards may not work in smaller shops, so it’s advisable to carry some cash or use mobile payment apps.
