Health
Low standards of public hygiene, stress and overcrowded
conditions are to blame for most of the health problems that beset
travellers in China. If you do get ill, medical facilities, at
least in the big cities, are adequate, and the largest cities have
high-standard international clinics for foreigners. For minor
complaints, every town has a pharmacy which can suggest remedies,
and doctors who can treat you with traditional Chinese or Western
techniques. You'll need to take a phrasebook or a Chinese speaker
if you don't speak Chinese
