Doing business in the metropolis of China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Shenzhen can be
really expensive.However, if you visit our websites China Hotels and China Flights for tips, you will
find the best options.
Urban Communications
Nowadays the transport links in most big cities in China are good. If you are travelling on business in
these cities, I suggest using the subway instead of taking a taxi, since the traffic jams here will make
your trip very expensive. All signs and buttons in the subway are bilingual, so you do not have to
worry about the language barrier.
Fast Food or Cheap Snacks
Mcdonalds, KFC, Yoshinoya, Kung fu restaurant, Big Pizza, and Yonghe Soybean Milk are very common
fastfood restaurants in Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities in China. If you are looking for something
clean, convenient and most importantly very cheap, these are all good options. And remember to practice
using chopsticks before you come to China.
Living in luxury hotels like The Westin or The Hilton Hotel can be very extravagant. So why not stay in
express inns instead. These hotels are very common in today’s China, such as
HOME INN, HANTING INNS, and JINGJIANG INN. Normally, you can have a comfortable, standard
room for USD50.
Domestic Airlines
China domestic airline companies often promote cheap, discounted tickets. Sometimes the discount may
be as high as 90% off, which means it will only cost you
20-30 dollars to travel from one big city to another. Go to China Airline’s website for more information.
Good luck!
