Thanks a lot 4 the welcome message...

NO that is a bad guess! I guessed VISA credit card is widely accepted after the beijing olympic ..

Plastic is still not commonly accepted in China. Will be okay for major hotels, large stores, western oriented restaurants and in most ATM's.

Try Huadu hotel, or depending on budget limitations Home Inn

Hi Manlin,

Good day to you. glad to receive ur reply.

I think u r right, plastic might not be that widely accepted. I'll bring RMB & some USD just in case.

i will google Huadu & Home Inn. During this season I guess it's not a peak season for tourist due to freezing winter right?

Oh ya, wonder if there is a bus/train from tangshan to beijing in such a short notice. I was told the ticket must be bought 10 days in advance?

TQVM - have a great day ahead

Showing my age here and/or showing that I have been too long in China. Had to google TQVM  here we normally use 3Q (san Q).

I don't think there will be a problem with the train ticket. Do you want/need the contact info of a tour company? I'm sure they could book it for you but they will want some sort of handling fee.

will also be traveling solo this coming february. i'm hoping to meet fellow filipinos on my visit to beijing

welcome to beijing
