前言：鸣谢Lucy的整理工作，特制作一个上海系列，不错的口语素材之一。


Health matters

Make sure before leaving home that you have adequate private health insurance, as treatment at local hospitals can be expensive and China does not have reciprocal healthcare arrangements with other countries.

Ensure you are vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B, tetanus, tetanus-diphtheria, polio, typhoid, flu, chickenpox, rabies and Japanese encephalitis (the last of these is only really necessary if you are planning to travel to rural areas). Don’t drink the tap water while in Shanghai (though brushing your teeth with it shouldn’t cause any problems).

In case of medical emergency, your hotel may have a doctor on call, or be able to help you to the nearest public hospital with English-speaking staff (or one of Shanghai's international clinics). Take your passport with you and some cash, since some hospitals will not see you before you have paid Rmb100-500. You may find that you are prescribed drugs and a drip immediately.

Tipping

Until recently, tipping was almost unheard of in China. But things are changing, especially in Shanghai, and visitors will be expected to part with a few coins.

Bars
Only tip in bars if you have a table, and even then use your discretion. Tipping at the bar is not the norm.

Hotels
A 15% service charge is usually included in your bill, but bell boys and room-service staff may expect something extra in the four- and five-star hotels.

Taxis
There is no need to tip.

Restaurants
A 12-15% service charge is now included in the bill in hotel dining rooms and at some of the better restaurants around the city. Where service is not included, tip at your discretion. If you are in an good international restaurant, a tip of 10-15% is usual. In a Chinese restaurant it would be quite acceptable not to tip, though you might want to reward particularly efficient service.
