THANK YOU TO FRANKIE FOR REPLYING SORRY FOR CONFUSION OVER MY WORDING. I UNDERSTOOD YOUR ADVICE SO YOU ANSWERED WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW. I AM VISITING CHINA THIS MONTH WITH MY PARTNER BUT HAVE MADE NO ADVANCE BOOKINGS FOR PLACES TO STAY OR FOR FORWARD TRAVEL SO LIKE OUR TRAVELS IN VIETNAM AND THAILAND AND INDIA WE ARE WINGING IT IN CHINA AS THAT IS WHAT WE ENJOY MOST. ANY ADVICE ON TRAIN TICKETS OR HOW TO BOOK CHEAPEST PLACES TO STAY IS MOST WELCOME. WE REALLY ARE QUITE ABLE TO FEND OFF THE TOUTS AND CHANCERS BUT ANY PRUDENT INFO ON BEIJING AIRPORT ARRIVAL SCAMS WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. CHEERS RICH.
