What is the local currency?
The local currency is Chinese yuan. As these FAQs are being written, the exchange rate is 1 yuan = 0.1471 US dollars.
Is Tipping Customary?
From TravelChinaGuide.com comes this information:
In recognition of good service from tour guides, drivers, skycaps, waiters or bellhops, tipping which was once frowned upon has become gradually accepted as common practice in China as elsewhere in the world.
Although tipping is not required, gratuities may improve service. For the bellboys or waiters, 1 - 5 US dollars may be appropriate as the tip. If you are uncertain about how much to give, just tip based on your bill. Generally, 10% - 15% is the most proper amount. For the tour guide and the driver, 1 - 10 US dollars a day per person is adequate.
Electricity
Most of the hotels in China have both 110V and 220V electrical outlets in the bathrooms, though in guest rooms usually only 220V sockets are available. You may need a plug adapter, which you can buy at US travel stores or in China.??
If I have extra time to travel, where should I go?
From Tour-beijing.com comes this list of Top 10 Attractions & Things to Do in Beijing:
- Forbidden City
- Tiananmen Square
- Temple of Heaven
- Summer Palace
- Ming Tombs
