The Travelling Surgical Society will be joining Cardiff University and Yantai University, China for a joint surgical conference in May 2025.
Yantai is a beautiful city in Eastern Shandong province, the most prosperous region in China. Located on the coast, the region is famous for the quality of its cuisine (especially seafood) and wine. The hospital and medical school in Yantai are at the cutting edge of surgical practice and developments in medical education. It will be a fascinating experience for British surgeons to see how Chinese colleagues train and practice. While the hospital visits and meetings take place in Yantai, there will be plenty of time to explore, with potential visits including a local vineyard or the Wine Museum.
The Travelling Surgical Society will also be visiting Beijing and Xi'an, with an optional extension to Shanghai via a 3-day Yangtze River Cruise.
This tour gives participants the opportunity to experience many of China's exciting facets, contrasting modern, high-tech cities with the ancient history of Xi'an. There is also the opportunity to experience the tranquil beauty of the Three Gorges and glamorous, dynamic Shanghai on an optional extension.
Travel from imperial Beijing to beautiful Yantai, before continuing to historic Xi'an.
Visit a traditional Chinese pharmacy that has been operating for 350 years.
Spend a day exploring the amazing Terracotta Warriors.
Experience the most beautiful parts of the Yangtze on a three-night cruise, including the stunning Three Gorges, followed by two nights in glamorous Shanghai on an optional post-tour extension.
Some walking between destinations, more time spent standing, and increased travel distances. Requires a reasonable level of fitness.
