Can some body please give some idea about domestic airfare in chinese currency Kunming-Dalian-Kunming? Also if there is any other form of cheap transportation (by train or by sea), please let me know the cost and how long it takes? I tried to find 1 star or 2 star hotels on the net, couldn't find one. Can I find hotels in $20-30usd range(or cheaper)per night for two beds? I'm willing to stay a little further away from the city in order to find cheap hotels. Thank you Sal

There's no direct train between Dalian from Kunming, and it'll cost a long time.

How about the Youth Hostel in Dalian?

Good luck!:)

If there is a way:- What would it cost in Chinese currency? How long it takes and are the tickets readily available? thank you Sal
