Hi! I will be going to Beijing this June and need some help to know for sure how much money I will need there per month. I am going there with my 3-year-old kid and I will need a babysitter for him for 3-5 hours a day, and then plus a good full time kindergarten. I will be staying in a hotel for a month (they charge me 160 RMB per night but advices on something better are most welcome). And of course I wanted to know how much does a meal in a restaurant cost (I mean average).
Thanks!!

I am currently studying abroad at Hong Kong University. My friends and i have decided to travel to Beijing for about four days without a tour package. I have never been to Beijing but would definitely like to see the Forbidden City, Tianman Square, Great wall, Terracotta Soldiers, and such. My only concern is that we will not have a guide or a personal bus to take us to those desired locations in Beijing. To my knowledge, these locations are also quite far from each other and are spread throughout Beijing. I want to know if it is difficult or even realistic to get to these places? Also are there hotel services that drive guests around the cities for a fix rate? Considering a time span of only 4 days and a group of 6 people traveling to Beijing, any information and tips would be most appreciated. Thanks!

BEIJING (Reuters) – Beijing has asked hotels and restaurants in the city to take dog meat off the menu for the duration of next month’s Olympics and September’s Paralympics.
Dog is eaten not only by the large Korean community in China’s capital but is also popular in Yunnan and Guizhou restaurants.
A directive from the Beijing Food Safety Office issued last month ordered Olympic contractor hotels not to provide any dishes made with dog meat and said any canine material used in traditional medicated diets must be clearly labeled.
Concerned that canine dishes might offend animal rights groups and Western visitors, Beijing said restaurants expected to be popular among foreign visitors must stop serving dog meat “to respect the dining customs of different countries.”
The directive “advocated” that all restaurants serving dog suspend it during the Olympics but made no mention of the many popular establishments with donkey on the menu.

I want to travel to Beijing/Shanghai in the winter/early spring of 2007. However, Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) begins Feb. 18 and travel will be crazy. There are many crowds & full hotels as it is a business/school holiday and Chinese people will travel to visit family. I would really like to avoid this hectic period. Will waiting 1 week (Feb.25) be enough for crowds to go down and return to work, or should I wait until about March 10 or March 15?

So nothing’s on our persons as we fly into Pyongyang from Beijing.
Our hostess and security agent take us to the Hotel room. They also say we are free to roam certain areas of Pyongyang.
There is plenty of beer and tobacco here, but haven’t seen any marijuana yet. Where’s the hookup for pot in Pyongyang?

i will be traveling to one of these cities in may. i am from the US. i do not speak the language. which city would be the best place to go? i know that tokyo is very expensive but i think it would be really cool to go though. i heard that you can sleep in a love hotel. haha my cousin and i are going. and we figured we would only need about 5 hours of sleep a night. so we figured that would be cheap. or any suggestions on hostels? what about beijing? i kind of wanted to see the olympic setups. and i heard its dirt cheap there. can i get some suggestions on food/nightlife/drinks? for all those cities? any suggestions help. thanks. prices? we are goin for 6 nights. we are on a budget. so ballpark range US dollars for each city. thanks!

I am currently staying in Singapore and was wondering if it was worth me visting Beijing before the Olympics 2008 start to save a bit of money on the flight or hotel costs after the Olympics are over.
Has past Olympic events caused a permanent increase in flights or hotel prices? Or do I have nothing to be concerned about and just book my ticket for the end of the year?

I am having trouble. The hotel I want to reserve in Beijing says “error” in the mobile phone section of their reservation webpage. Of course I don’t have a Chinese cell phone so it doesn’t accept my number therefore I can’t make a reservation. So I call the hotel’s hotline, it is a chain hotel, and everybody speaks English except those in the Reservation Department. So how can I ask the lady in the reservation department to connect me with an English speaker?

We’re thinking of taking a vacation to Beijing in May and was wondering how expensive it is there. It’ll be myself, my wife, and our two kids (ages 3 and 1). We’ve already looked into the cost of airline tickets. We also discovered that visas are expensive, like around $180/EA.
How much would a semi-decent hotel cost (maybe around 2 or 3 stars)? How much is food? How much for city tours? To the Great Wall? To the Forbidden City (not even sure if it’s in the area)? How much is public transportation? Taxis? How about souvenirs?
Any advice/info would be helpful.
