Tipping
It is customary to tip service providers in the travel industry in Asia, depending on the service. Tipping is expected — though not compulsory — and shows an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. Recommendations for tipping drivers (4 USD per person per day as a guideline) and local guides (8 USD per person per day as a guideline) would depend on the quality and length of the service.
Train conditions in China
A soft sleeper is recommended for overnight and long-distance travel. Each soft sleeper compartment is enclosed, and contains four bunks, two on each side. The bunks are wider and more comfortable than hard sleepers, with decent bedding. Soft sleeper compartments may vary between trains. You may have both over-head storage and under-bed storage, or just under-bed storage. For short distance train travel, G and D high-speed trains are recommended. G trains are the fastest trains in China, with a speed of 250 km/h to 400 km/h, and their prices are highest.
Currency Exchange
As currency exchange rates in China fluctuate, we suggest you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com. In 2015 the yuan (CNY or RMB) has been around 6.2 RMB to 1 USD (6.1–6.3 RMB to 1 USD), and the HKD (Hong Kong Dollar) has been more stable around 7.75 HKD to 1 USD (7.74–7.77 HKD to 1 USD). There are many ATMs that accept both Visa and Master Card, but these are limited to cities. We also recommend the use of cash and travelers checks in USD currency. Major credit cards are accepted in most shops, but they may charge a 2–4% transaction fee.
Food
Eating is an important part of your China experience. Generally breakfasts are included in the itinerary and offered by hotels. Best China Experience recommends local Chinese restaurants that are popular with local people for meals. You can order dishes with the help of your guide. Western food can be found in most large cities. If you are vegetarian or you are looking for specially-prepared food, please feel free to inform your travel advisor or your guide.
Vehicle
We use comfortable sedans or vans with air-conditioning. The comfort and safety of our customers is of the utmost importance, so we ensure that all of the vehicles that we use are well maintained and always very clean. Our drivers take pride in their vehicles.
