Most people come to Macau to gamble. If you want to combine
exploring local culture with relaxing in style then the Hyatt
is a good bet. Located on the island of Taipa, the Hyatt Regency
Macau is a five-star luxury resort hotel set in three acres
of lush greenery. The hotel has 326 rooms and suites, many
with panoramic views of Macau city across the Taipa Bridge.
Explorers can head in the opposite direction to the island
of Coloane to visit the small Catholic churches and wander
the narrow back alleys reminiscent of southern Europe.
Guangzhou Youth Hostel

Telephone: +86 20 8121 8298 Fax: 86 20 8121 8298
Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province and the gateway
into South-East China. The Youth Hostel on Shamian Dao is
the perfect place to ease yourself into the hustle and bustle
of the mainland. For around $25 USD per night you will have
the benefits of a clean air-conditioned room, helpful English-speaking
staff and a great location near to impressive colonial architecture,
Qingping market, Pearl River, and plenty of
coffee shops and restaurants.
Minzu Shanzhuang
Zhangjiajie Forest Park, Zhangjiajie, Hunan.
Telephone: +86 744 571 2516 Fax: 86 744 571 2516
This is the kind of hotel that travellers love to talk about.
It wins top points for its unusual wooden Tujian architecture,
charming giggly maids, and convenient location close to the
entrance of the Wulingyuan National Park. It does not score
very highly on the level of English spoken by its staff nor
for the number of bugs, insects and mosquitoes that congregate
in the bedrooms. But what do you expect for ten dollars a
night?
Cactus Resort
Yalong Bay National Resort District, Sanya City, Hainan Dao
Telephone: +86 898 8856 8866 Fax: 86 898 8856 8867
One of the less well-known provinces in China is Hainan Dao.
The country's so-called Hawai'i of the East is located on
roughly the same latitude as much of Vietnam and Hawai'i.
Hainan Dao provides a welcome subtropical break from the rest
of mainland China. The Cactus Resort is the largest and most
affordable establishment in Sanya. If the beautiful coastline
near the hotel does not tempt you, the hotel also boasts the
largest outdoor swimming pool in Asia, complete with a replica
Mayan temple and bar in an oasis in the center!
