Beijing to Shanghai Hotels

Hotels in this region vary greatly, from very inexpensive, simple rooms with hard mattresses to exquisite, five-star properties on a par with major cities across the world., though you shouldn't expect to find much luxury in smaller cities such as Chengde and Tunxi (Huangshan). Limited English will be spoken at cheaper hotels, but clean and comfortable rooms can be found at very low rates. Most places accept credit cards, though several offer discounts if you pay in cash. Chinese hotels can be booked easily, without prepaying most of the time, through Chinese Web sites (in English): www.sinohotels.com or www.elong.com.
