This paper explored the impact of multidimensional distances on health tourism flow in China by means of NCA and QCA. We found that health tourism destinations with shorter time distances, smaller economic distances, similar geographical distances and greater cultural distances are favored. Additionally, distance factors have different effects on inflow flow and outflow flow of health tourism. The inflow flow is more sensitive to changes in time distance, geographical distance and cultural distance, while the outflow flow is more susceptible to the effects of economic distance
