Exactly. In Shenzhen, a lunch in a mainstream diner can cost up to 40RMB, which is more than in same type of eatery in Hong Kong. On the other hand, a Lanzhou Beef Noodles in the capital of Gansu cost 3.5RMB, though with only tiny bits of beef in it.

One thing I find fairly expensive is admission prices to many tourist sites. 50-100RMB to visit a temple is not unheard of. Compared to usually free to visit a cathedral or church in many countries. And the really famous scenic/historical sites even more.
