Regular outpatient or international department?
International services are growing fast in Guangzhou, with English-speaking staff and, at some hospitals, direct insurance billing. Regular outpatient care costs less and gives access to every specialist, but is busy and in Chinese only. With a medical escort, either route works. Compare the two routes
Getting there and where to stay
