Tips for saving money traveling in China
Base on our experience, most of our travel expense is on the
hotel, the food and tour service are really cheap in China.what
do we come here for?-sightseeing and cultural experiences on
this new land! why do we have to spend more on hotels ? So our
tips are:
1. Book a hotel through China's LOCAL hotel network - like
HotelGuideChina.com. and etc With wider hotel choices (including
international hotels), better local discounts, they don't need
prepayment for hotel, so there is no fee for cancellation, you
just pay when arriving in the hotel.
2. Book tour packages directly from China's LOCAL hotel
network(like the former one). the prices are cheaper and the
designs of those trips are more to your specific taste. like,
you know most people who come to china and go visit the great
wall have been travelled along the same path ,which can be quite
boring sometimes...somehow the local network provide you with
some amazing choices for a hike in china that you have never
had.
3.Or if you wanna stay in China for a longer time(more than one
month)then renting a serviced apartment would be an ideal choice
for you.There is no doubt that its much cheaper than staying in
the hotel,whats more,maybe you can get a homecoming feeling
living in a cozy apartment ,where you can also get
serviced(breakfast and cleaning stuff; or you may handle it
yourself too-like cooking a tasty pasta to your own
style(taste;) my email: zoe_liang_0316@hotmail.com
