Tips

There is an old Chinese saying that says a disease is easy to cure at its beginning just as meals should be eaten when they are first served. When you are traveling, please take good care of your health. Go see a doctor immediately whenever you feel ill. Most Chinese cities have a system of advanced medical care that can provide a prompt cure to most problems.
