When transiting through China, the requirement to fill out a health declaration form can depend on the specific regions or cities of transit. For instance, transit through Shanghai and Beijing may or may not necessitate this declaration. The decision is often based on the prevailing epidemiological situation in different provinces, with certain areas potentially being subject to stricter health screening protocols.

Passengers transiting through China to Japan are required to fill out a new Health Declaration QR code for each entry into China, even during layovers. Check-in/out procedures at Chinese airports treat each arrival as a separate entry.

To find pharmacies in Chinese cities using map apps like Baidu Maps or Amap: 1. **Search Term:** Use the Chinese character for 'pharmacy', which is '药' (yào). You can type '药店' (yàodiàn) or simply '药' into the search bar. 2. **Map Icons:** Look for icons resembling a red cross (+) on the map, often indicating pharmacies or clinics. 3. **App Features:** Within Amap, you can often find a 'pharmacy' or 'drug store' category listed under common search shortcuts or within the 'More'/'All Categories' menu. If using Baidu Maps, the search function should directly yield results.

Skin reactions (dryness, peeling) for travelers in China are often caused by hard water, changes in humidity, and unfamiliar spices. Recommended mitigation: use bottled water for facial washing, request mild/low-sodium food without MSG at restaurants, and apply soothing moisturizers. Consult a doctor via travel insurance if symptoms persist.
