China is one great country to visit .  Even chinese locals from other towns and cities take chances to visit Beijing when they are able and this happen mostly during week-long holidays like the May holiday and the October holiday. Reasonable hotel room rates and services are the top list on advertisement for a hotel to survive.

This photo was taken by a friend way back in 2004 and he thinks that the rate above was just ok.  He was visiting from a nearby city to have his eyes checked and he stayed in this hotel.  To convert that to dollars that year is 8  RMB to 1 US dollars.  So that trip room will only cost you and company of 3 a merely 50-60 US dollars. :)

I like the simplicity of the sign… it is what it is… no fancy thing to grab your senses… just facts.
My hunt is up here.

But what really grabbed my attention is “Hour Room”! In this country, if you use a room for an hour, it’s not for any nice reason, but I suppose it’s different in China. :-)

Thanks for visiting!
