China Yangtze river cruise Tours

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

You will need to prepare the following documents: a valid passport and visa, previous medical records (including diagnosis reports, examination results and imaging data), which are preferably translated into English or Chinese, and a copy of your travel insurance policy. Our team will send you a detailed document checklist via email well before your departure date.

The cost difference is mainly due to differences in healthcare operation models, lower hospital operating costs and more competitive pricing for medical supplies in China. This enables us to provide high-quality medical services at a more cost-effective price compared to Australia, without compromising on medical standards or service quality.

We fully recognize the high standard of Australia’s healthcare system. Our partnered top-tier Chinese hospitals, including Grade A tertiary hospitals and JCI-accredited institutions, meet international medical standards for numerous specialist treatments and elective procedures. Key advantages include no long waiting lists for elective care, access to advanced clinical technologies, and extensive clinical experience of medical teams in handling complex cases.
