Acupuncture cost in Sanya: 2026 prices

What the treatment price includes

Included free of charge: the initial pulse diagnosis, the airport transfer, the Russian-speaking coordinator, and selection of an individual treatment programme. These are not charged as extras later.

Included in the course price: the TCM procedures themselves (acupuncture, TuiNa, moxibustion, catgut embedding), consultations with physicians who have more than 40 years of experience, and repeat pulse diagnostics during the course so the plan can be adjusted.

Not included: accommodation, meals, and flights. Keeping these separate is deliberate — it means you choose your own hotel rather than accepting a bundled one.

The most requested procedures

• Acupuncture — chronic pain, insomnia, headaches
• TuiNa massage — osteochondrosis, recovery of the musculoskeletal system
• Herbal therapy — general strengthening, constitutional support
• Catgut embedding — appetite regulation for weight management
• Moxibustion — chronic cold-pattern conditions, respiratory complaints

Why treatment in China costs less

Treatment at our centre runs 30–40% below comparable European TCM centres at comparable quality. The saving comes from the cost base — medical staffing costs, facility costs and the fact that Chinese health insurance treats TCM as medicine — not from a reduction in what is delivered.

On top of that there are two further savings that are easy to overlook: direct Moscow–Sanya flights are cheaper than the equivalent European package, and the visa-free regime removes the visa fee and the paperwork risk entirely.

Planning the total budget

For a realistic figure, take the programme price, add accommodation at 200–800 CNY per night depending on the bay and the season, add flights, and add a margin for food and local transport.

Across our programmes, a 14-day medical course including accommodation and flights typically lands in the range of 40,000–70,000 CNY. A 21-day course with more demanding objectives runs higher. When you request a quote, the coordinator sends a written breakdown in three lines — medical programme, accommodation, flights — with no hidden additions.
