on a similare note, china is a large country.. read a guide book like lonely planet for more info.
Well, that much I know. I live in Chinatown here, so everytime I ask a neighbor they send me to their hometown plus Shanghai (oddly, few mention Beijing as a destination...)
I guess I'll take the St. Regis. It's pretty steep though, especially on points. Aren't hotels in countries like China supposed to be reasonably priced?
