China Travel Guide

Compared to the rest of Asia, China can be an expensive place to travel. Though it's always possible to eat and move around fairly cheaply, accommodation costs can be as high as in Europe or the US, and daily expenses vary drastically, according to region. In descending order, the three main price "zones" are Hong Kong and Macau, the eastern seaboard, and the interior provinces, with some variation within these categories. Basically, things get cheaper the farther west you go, though costs are always relatively more expensive in popular tourist spots
