Choose your hotel
Stay in the district closest to your hospital — by city and by hospital
You book your own room. What we can do better than any booking site is tell you which district keeps you ten minutes from the department you are going to — because in a Chinese teaching hospital, an 07:30 arrival is often the difference between being seen first and waiting all morning.
Proximity to the hospital beats a nicer lobby every time.
Keep it until your appointment is confirmed in writing.
If mobility is limited, request step-free entry and a walk-in shower.
Give yourself one night to arrive and one to rest before treatment.
