Olympic Home for Rent in Beijing
China Net (中国网) reported that there will be 50,200 registered guests visiting Beijing during Olympic Games weeks. They are athletes, officers, medias, sponsors and special guests. The estimated oversea visitors are 600,000 and domestic visitors are 2,600,000. Beijing Tourism Bureau said that there will be sufficient accommodations for all the visitors. The key is that you, as a visitor, must prepare more budget for your stay! Here are some numbers:
- Vacation home: 1 bed room/2 bed rooms : 800 RMB - 1500 RMB/day (120 -220 USD/day)
- Budget hotel (e.g. HomeInn): 1,000 RMB - 2,000 RMB/day ( 150 USD - 300 USD/day)
Wow. Can you believe that people are actually going to rent apartments at this price?
Tips to SAVE money:
- Stay at your friends’ or relatives’.
- Stay in neighborhood city, e.g. Tianjin. The commute between Tianjin and Beijing is about 1 hour, ticket at 70 RMB single trip. Not a great deal if you are traveling with a family.
- Stay away from the Bird’s Nest. The closer to the Bird’s Nest, the more expensive it is.
