Generally
speaking, travel independently is a little bit more
expensive than travel with a group. But this is not
the "Law". It doesn't as expensive as you
thought to travel through China. China is not only one
of the most popular but also one of the cheapest travel
destinations on the earth! Not all people want to go
on a strict budget, but for most young people, cheaper
is better. We can give you some ideas and general information
that may help you decide what it will take for you to
go on the trip of a lifetime!

Let's read this pie chart first.

This
is where you can save big! We buy large blocks
of rooms at great savings and offer them at discounts

50%. Sharing a room with a friend can save you
another 50%. You can choose the three star hotels,
which is clean and comfortable and the price for

 Transportation
within city
Seventeen
percents of your budget will be paid for the inner
city transportation if you take the private air-conditioning
bus. Each city has it's own mode of transportation,
taking advantage of the public transportation
system is the best way to save. Actually, even
the taxi fare is very low in China, only 20 cents
for one kilometer in Beijing.

Domestic
air tickets
If
you have more time than money, you should take
the train. Train travel allows you to relax and
enjoy the scenery. And you can get good deals.
China has one the largest and most efficient railway
systems of the world. Sleeping on the first class
overnight train to you next destination is a smart
way to avoid paying the cost of a hotel. But please
keep in mind; for some itineraries, traveling
by train is not necessarily the most economical
or efficient mode of transportation. So please
consult with us first before planning your trip.

Service
fees paid to your tour guide
No
saving for this item when you travel to remote
area of China. You really need an English-speaking
tour guide unless you can speak Chinese.

 Meals
Food
is a very variable expense. Do not always go to
the luxury first class restaurant. Our tour guide
can find an inexpensive restaurant and you get
a good opportunity to try the local cuisines.
But you should not miss the special food of each
city, for example the Roasted Duck of Beijing.
One special dinner will not cost you a fortune
and if you do not taste it, you will regret later
definitely.

 Admission
tickets for the tour attractions
You
should not think about saving on this! Walking
around the "Forbidden City of Beijing"
is a good experience, but walking inside is better.
Since this is the reason why you come to China.
