I intend to travel to Quanzhou to attend the Trade fair around mid April for 10 days but I am struggling to locate cheap hotels where I can stay as they all seem to be fully booked.
1. Is it better to search for accomodation on arrival or book in advance?

2. Any suggestions for Hotels in near by towns to Qunazhou with good transportation from where I can commute to the trade fair on daily basis.

Response will be most appreciated.
