2. Do we need vaccinations to travel to China? If yes, what kinds of vaccinations do we need?
   

   While you travel to China with China Odyssey Tours, we always carefully select restaurants and hotels that are clean and safe in order to provide you with a safe and healthy environment. However, we do suggest you have sorts of vaccinations 4 to 6 weeks before your trip as the following, especially if you choose to go and visit those remote and /or rural areas.
   - Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG)
   - Hepatitis B
   (We suggest 11 to 12–year-old children who did not receive it as infants have vaccination of Hepatitis B.)
   - Rabies, if you might have possibility to be exposed to wild or domestic animals.
   - Typhoid, for visiting developing countries.

3. If I can't walk properly, can you provide me with a wheelchair or do I need to have my own?
   You'd better have your own, though in some cities we can provide you with a wheelchair that usually we rent from the hotels where you are going to stay, we can not guarantee any wheelchair assistance or accessibility in all the areas where you are going to visit.

4. What kinds of medicine do you think I should take?

   Most people only need to apply for a single –entry visa, which is usually valid for 3 months after the issuing date and will permit you to stay in China for a maximum of 30 days.
