shanghai hotel airport
how much spending money do I need to take with me to Beijing and Shanghai?
I just booked a much needed holiday package to beijing and shanghai. The package includes my airfare, airport transfer,hotel, fare to shanghai, tours and a meal plan of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So basically all I need is just money for my personal spending like shopping, tipping and stuff like that. I would also love to do a bit of shopping, I'm not really looking at high class malls, just reasonably priced places to do shopping.
Pls how muh do you think I should take with me for a 6days and 5nights trip? thank you.
Depends, do you speak chinese? If not then it will be harder to bargain. You still can try but I mean you are there to relax and have fun. Beijing and Shanghai are some of the most expensive cities in China, well for Chinese. I would say bring a good $500. That should pretty much cover everything.
When I go on trips shooting lows normally makes me end up spending more. So just be safe and take as much as you can. imo
Travelers Checks can be a hassle though. Almost all small banks don't take them they always direct you to a larger bank. Maybe some international hotels but I am not too sure of that because I don't live in a hotel here I live in a apartment. >.<
