Beijing China Travel tips for seniors
All travellers should make a careful plan to ensure their health and safety while travelling. Senior people, however, must pay great attention to a few extra concerns as below:
Pre-trip preparation
Contact your local travel agent or your tour operator in China for advice. Many travel agencies in China are quite specialised in meeting the needs of travelling seniors.
Have some information about the medical facilities in the cities you will be visiting in Beijing China.
Research important message such as climate, language and culture. Purchase a guide book and read it before you travel.
Make arrangements for wheelchairs if necessary.
Make sure the travel insurance is applied if needed.
If you are worried about your health, please think of taking a package tour.
Pre-trip medical check-ups
Before you go abroad, contact your doctor for a thorough medical check-up. If you have coronary heart disease, hypertension or any other chronic symptoms, or if you have recently had surgery or suffered from a heart attack, please do make a good check-up.
Consult with your dentist for a check-up.
Regular medications
Take enough regular medication with you to cover the entire tour. Some drugs may not be available in China.
Ready for a written and signed note from your doctor showing the purpose of your medications, just in case.
If you need big amounts of Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) medication, then you are supposed to take a letter of explanation from your doctor.
If you need big amounts of over-the-counter medication, then you are supposed to take a letter of explanation from your chemist.
If you want to buy the medications in China, remember that the dosages may be quite different from the brands you are familiar with.
Your luggage
Be sure your carry-on bag covers everything you will need for the day trips.
Your carry-on luggage should contain a medical kit including regular medications, painkillers, antacids and band-aids.
It may be easier for you if you use a suitcase with wheels.
Prepare a check-luggage with wheels.
Taking care of yourself on the Beijing China tours
Have an easy day or two to recover from your jet lag. As you know the effects of jet lag may be worsen if you fly east.
Always drink bottled water. Please ask for the advice from the local guides if you are not sureof the water quality.
Avoid street food, seafood, undercooked meats, peeled fruits and vegetables, and unpasteurised dairy products.
Tell your local tour guides to follow your pace.
Don't have a very tight schedule for the tours. Have some rest breaks, especially in hot weather.
Diarrhoea may reduce the effectiveness of your medications. See a local doctor if you have diarrhoea for more than one day.
Meals on the tours
Breakast: you will have breakfast at your hotels. We suggest you use 4 or 5 star hotels. These star hotels often offer western breakfast. Lunch: you will have tourist lunch on your each day tour if you take a package tour.
Dinner: we suggest you skip the Chinese dinner and have your own dinner at hotels. Very often the star hotels offer western buffet or dinner.
Safety suggestions
Older people are the easy targets for Thieves and pickpockets.
Don't travel around alone too late at night.
Don't wear expensive jewellery overtly.
Hide valuables (cash, cheques and credit cards) on a belt worn under the clothes next to the skin.
Thinking of carrying a 'dummy' wallet containing a small amount of cash. If you are directly faced by a mugger, you can hand over the dummy wallet and keep from further harm.
Take with you at all times the contact details of your local travel agency, and also your embassy in China.
