ROYZZZ Points: Join Date: Jul 20, 2004 Status: offline	posted a few weeks ago regarding a place to stay but only a few responded. anyway i am looking for a place to stay while attending a conference. im in a tight budget so i am looking at hostels as a place to stay. there are no hostels around Beijing International Convention Center or around the National Olympic Sports Center so i would like to know how much is a taxi fare from say near Tian'anmen area to the convention center. Also if there's a hostel near the convention center please let me know. My budget by the way is around 30 US dollars. Another thing is how is the weather there this end of August. I will be there this Aug 25 to 30. Thank you.

I wrote up where and other details in my travel review of Beijing. From the 2 hostels I saw in Beijing; hotels advertise themselves to westerners as hostels and have the same pricing as the other hotels. I hope that helps some.

And you also should pay the bridge acrosing fee! Or you'd better bargain with the driver, and get a content price if you are an expert in bargaining.

What do you guys think of the National Jade Hotel, Huiyuan International Apartment or Catic Hotel? Which one is the best? and cheapest of the 3? Thanks.

I estimate the fare to be around 50-70 RMB. Look on the following websites for weather data. Yes, you'll need to bring winter clothes on your trip to Tianjin. http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/WZBTJ.html http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:CHXX0133
