Scenic Spots

City Tour

If You Take a City Toor ( Like Visit the Great Wall), the Cost is Acceptable.

Resort
If You Go to Resort, the Cost Will Be High.in China, We Often Hear the Bad News Like "the Restaurant Owner Charges Clients for 1500usd Per Meal"(something Like That) and the Hotel Price Will Be Also High. That is Why Many Chinese Prefers to Visit Thailand Instead。
If You Go to These Places, Its Better to Order Online.

Nature Tour

If You Want to See the Nature Beauty, Especially in West China, the Cost Will Also Be High

If You Are a Backpacker, Hitchhiker, or You Have Very Less Budget, You Can Ignore This Part.
