3 DAYS IN BEIJING

I would suggest you take a small amount of cash when traveling. Most of the big restaurants, shopping malls and hotels in China accept the Credit Card. And you can also withdraw money at China's bank or ATM machines.

For your reference, it normally costs around CNY100 for meals at an ordinary restaurant per person per day. In regard to the transportation, to save the cost, you are advised to buy a Transportation Smart Card, which can be used on subways, city buses and some taxis in Beijing. The card can be bought at the ticket offices of the subway stations, some bus stations and Post Offices.

The price for the subway in Beijing is charged according to the travel distance and the starting price is CNY3 for first 4 miles. By using the card, you can enjoy 20% discount for expense between CNY100 to CNY150, and 50% discount for expense between CNY150 to CNY400.
