Hotels
Slightly OT and apologize if already discussed (didn't read back more than 2 pages).
Just got back from trip with Beijing visit and according to two local friends (both are travel agents with their own company), Kerry Center and comparable rated hotels are charging btw RMB8888 to 9999 per night. Mind you that is for same room that I just paid rmb1200 per night. Plus they want guest to take room(s) from day 1 to last day of events.
