This is not a package you book off a shelf — every trip we build starts from your dates and interests. But it shows the shape a health trip takes: how one fasting morning fits inside a real visit to China, and how little it costs you in time. Three days is the minimum; most people stay longer.
Day one: arrive, eat lightly, sleep early
Land in the afternoon and check in somewhere quiet. Your driver has the address; your companion has your screening appointment confirmed for tomorrow. Dinner is the one disciplined meal of the trip: nothing greasy, no alcohol, and nothing at all after 8pm — the blood work and abdominal ultrasound need a fasting morning. Water stops at 10pm. If that sounds austere, remember what day three holds.
Day two: the morning that is the point
8:00 — Passport in hand, you register at the screening centre. The fasting tests come first: blood draw, abdominal ultrasound, the breath test.
9:30 — Breakfast, on site and included. Congee, eggs, fruit, tea. You have earned it.
10:00 — The rest of the morning moves quickly: internal medicine, surgery, eye and ENT checks, ECG, then the imaging suite — low-dose chest CT, the ultrasound rooms, and if your tier includes it, the brain MRI. Last stop, the one everyone talks about: the traditional Chinese medicine constitution assessment, with its digital pulse and tongue imaging.
12:30 — You are done, and it is barely lunch. The afternoon is deliberately gentle: a walk through the hutongs around the Drum Tower, coffee in a courtyard, maybe the spa and bathhouse afternoon our clients ask to repeat. A light day by design — you fasted, and you travelled yesterday.
Day three: the Great Wall, properly
Now the trip earns its keep. An early start beats the crowds to a quieter section of the Wall; your guide knows which gate and which hour. Back in the city by late afternoon for the dinner you deferred on day one — Peking duck, or a private kitchen we hold relationships with. Fly onward that evening or stay another week; either way, the health screening is behind you and the report is on its way to your inbox.
What it costs
The screening itself is $549 to $1,499 depending on the tier. The trip around it — hotels, guides, drivers, bookings — is quoted per itinerary, because no two are the same. Entry planning comes first: Europeans enter visa-free for 30 days; Americans typically use the 240-hour transit route or a tourist visa. We confirm which applies to you before anything is booked.
Make it yours
Swap Beijing for Shanghai. Add Xi'an or Chengdu. Bring your partner and book two screening mornings — many couples do. The itinerary above is a sketch, not a product. The starting point is a conversation about your dates.
