Hello,

Which hotels would you highly recommend I stay at in Shenzhen, Wuhan, Nanjing, Beijing, Nanning?

I am looking at a budget 3 star hotel. Something reasonable at around $300 RMB a night.

What is the law stating brining Chinese girls to my hotel? I have a few friends that I like to
give them gifts I bought but can these girls stay at my hotel? Is there any law that says you
can't?

What is the duty free limits and other restrictions China has. How much money can I bring in? What
can I bring in and what can't I bring in?

Thanks.

There are so many hotels in that price range. Hard to give any suggestion.

Girls in the room are usually no problem. But you will have to do some explaining when you come in
a prostitution raid. Hotels usually have a "23:00 visitors deadline", which is usually not
enforced.

As far as I remember you can bring in RMB6000, again, it's seldom checked.

I have heard they got tough on food imports though.

Thanks for your reply. I just hope everything goes well in China. I know they can be pretty strict
or what you can and can not do.

A 3 star raid wouldn't be subjected to a prostitution raid right? I hate prostitution. I just like
this girl and she likes me so I will visit her. I just don't wish to get into any trouble while be
over there.

I might bring in $2000 AUD in cash, about $1000 RMB (if I can get my hold on some, otherwise I'll
probably have to exchange to some RMB at airport for taxi.

I do wish to import some relatively inexpensive jewellery like Opals, I'll be paying around $50
AUD for them each. Around $150 AUD total.

I will pack light as I will buy some clothes in China, I hope they have XXL size for men.

I do not think I will bring any food items into China apart from Listerine Pocketpaks....

I got some four-ply tissues incase I do find any toilets without toilet paper. I might bring a
small torch along with me too. I will lock my suitcase and carry bag with padlocks. Is there
anything else I should bring?

Thanks.

If you find any public toilets with toilet paper, let us know!

Adrian
All your points sound very reasonable.

I probably wouldn't bring a padlock, that would be gone too and will just increase your potential
loss. I would bring some sort of money poach for your passport etc.

Does that mean most toilets in China do not have toilet paper? What do people do when in a
resturant, at school, or when in public places?










flameproof -

Magnum, now you know why it's uncommon to shake hands in China.










md1101 -

lol.. just make sure you always bring some tissues with you. and if you find yourself without you
can usually ask for some from the restaraunt... they may or may not make you pay. just make sure
you dont realise there is no toilet paper when its too late.....










johnd -

People normally carry little packs of tissues for such occasions!

But here's a top tip: if you're ever caught short on the street then head for the nearest McD,
KFC, or upmarket hotel. Alway clean and with paper! IMO, it's the only thing McD is good for.

I recommend going over to http://elong.net and using that for hotel reservations in those cities.
You will get a decent enough deal and be certain that there's a room waiting for you in the
appropriate are of town.

registration is free and you don't have to pay until you physically show up in the hotel.
