Diarrhoea tops the list of health problems for visitors to China. Ensure maximum hygiene when travelling, especially when consuming food in restaurants and roadside stalls. Avoid raw, uncooked food, including salads - be mindful that animal as well as human excrement is frequently still used as fertiliser. When visiting far flung areas of China, places outside Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, it is advisable to take emergency evacuation insurance.
