Beijing medical trip planner
National referral centres plus six imperial sights inside one metro map
You fly in, you see a doctor, and you go home with a plan. This page is the order to do it in: choose how many days you have, book your own flight and hotel, then add the ground services you want — nothing else needs a travel agent.
Pick your number of days and open that plan.
Book your own flight — see the airports for Beijing.
Book a hotel in the district closest to your hospital.
Add airport transfer, interpreter, companion or a package.
Step 1 — choose how long you stay
Every plan below is written around one assumption: day two is your first hospital day, and there is at least one follow-up before you fly home. A consultant visit plus standard blood and imaging usually needs three clear days; a second opinion, or any imaging that is read by a specialist panel, usually needs five.
Beijing in 3 days
One consultation, tests, one follow-up. The tightest workable version.
Beijing in 4 days
Room for a second specialist opinion or a rest day between scans.
Beijing in 5 days
The most common choice: full work-up, follow-up and two recovery-day outings.
Beijing in 6 days
Two consultations plus a longer outing, without rushing any single day.
Beijing in 7 days
A full week: comprehensive assessment, a treatment start, and real recovery time.
Step 2 — your flight to Beijing
You book your own ticket. Beijing is served by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX). We meet you at arrivals for the transfer you book here.
Step 3 — where to stay
We recommend choosing by district first, then by hotel — being close to your hospital saves more energy than any upgrade.
Wangfujing / Dongdan — the classic base beside Peking Union Medical College Hospital
Chongwenmen — between Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Tongren Hospital
Financial Street — walkable to Fuwai Hospital
Xueyuan Road / Haidian — closest cluster to Peking University Third Hospital and Jishuitan
Step 4 — add the ground services you want
Pick one item or build the whole package. Every service is priced and booked separately, so nothing is hidden inside a bundle you did not choose.

English–Chinese interpreter at every consultation

Recovery-day ideas in Beijing
Sorted roughly from gentlest to most active — pick by how you feel that morning, not by what looks best on paper.
Forbidden City
The imperial palace, entered through Tian’anmen and exited to Jingshan. One轴线 walk, plenty of open courtyards to sit down in.
Jingshan Park overlook
A short climb to the pavilion above the palace for the classic roof-top view — the least tiring viewpoint in central Beijing.
Temple of Heaven
Flat park paths, morning tai chi groups, and the Circular Mound Altar at the end of an easy straight axis.
Mutianyu section of the Great Wall
Restored stone wall with a cable car up and a toboggan down, so you can choose exactly how much climbing you do.
Nanluoguxiang and the hutong lanes
Grey-brick lanes at courtyard height: teahouses, small galleries and constant places to stop.
Shichahai lakeside evening
Lantern-lit bar and tea street around three connected lakes — flat paving all the way round.
Food notes
Peking duck for the celebration meal; zhajiangmian noodles, donkey burgers and millet porridge for the everyday, gentle-on-the-stomach days.
