Eating

-As senior clients stomach's are more easily upset by local food, we recommend eating at the hotel, or a good restaurant, and avoiding eating street snacks.

-Our restaurant selections ensure you can eat plenty of delicious, authentic, and healthy food. It has been said that in China you can eat well without putting on weight!

Transport

-Trains: We don't recommend traveling by train, as most stations have many flights of steps to negotiate, and there is often a crowded rush to board the train. This presents a big challenge to those who are not so mobile.

-Bullet trains are ok as all platforms have lifts, and crowding is not so much of a problem.

Accommodation

-We recommend senior travelers stay at a central location to make evening and morning free-time activities as convenient as possible.

-We suggest staying at international-style large hotels, as they have softer beds, showers, and lifts.
