China Travel

I spend about half of my time traveling, most of the time to industrial areas in China. These days I am a city I had never heard of, in Guangxi province. There was no airport close to my destination point, so I came with a night bus and I am staying in a local hotel (it is quite okay, for rmb100/night).

While most foreign business travelers don't make such choices for their transportation in China, many of them wonder how to save a few hundred dollars every time they come. So I thought I might as well share a few tips.

If you work for a large multi-national company, then you likely have an expense account and a travel department that will take care of all of your travel details for you
