Where to stay

- Check whether the room has a kitchenette — useful for a long rehabilitation stay.
- Confirm the cancellation terms before you book, as treatment dates can shift.
Food and daily needs
- Cantonese cooking is mild and fresh; the city also has extensive international dining.
- Supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies and banks are usually within walking distance of large hospitals.
- Ask the hospital dietitian before starting any special diet during treatment.
Gentle, recovery-friendly outings
- Yuexiu Park
- Liuhua Lake Park
- the Pearl River riverside promenade
- Choose flat, seated routes and avoid long days out in the first weeks after treatment.
