What health preparation is sensible?

Arrange travel insurance appropriate to your activities, bring documented personal medicines, and check destination-specific health advice from your own government or clinician. ChinaMaxxing cultural-wellbeing experiences are not medical treatment.

Which emergency numbers should I know?

Police is 110, ambulance 120 and fire 119. Language support and local response can vary; keep your hotel and insurer contacts available and ask a trusted local host to help when needed.
