 | Is it okay to post about this here? :-0 Anyway, i posted it already. Do you know any boarding houses that offers very cheap rent in HK? I am shoestring so i am trying to budget my allowance because i know HK is so costly. My alloted budget is at least 15-30 HKD for 24 hours, and i am planning to stay there for a week or so. I won't be staying the whole day in the house because i will spend more time hanging around the city. Also, can anyone here share forums for Guizhou and Hainan? Your help is very much welcome. Thank you. |

| Where are you coming from???? You'll be lucky to survive a day on that budget. Even on the mainland it will probably cost you more than that per day. Unless you stop in a very small village paying Y10 per night for a bed and do nothing but walk around and only eat one meal a day. But then you have to get somewhere like that in the first place. Good luck. I hope someone can suggest something but I think the information would be out there if there was something good and cheap. |

| A late reply and I agree with Jabarootoo. I was in Hongkong last November 2007. I, too don’t usually stay in my room during my stay. I only use the room for storing my luggage, for sleeping and for taking a shower. I figured I would be ok with the cheapest hotel in Kowloon along Nathan Road. I asked at the accommodations desk at the airport and they told me the cheapest they could give me was HK$ 400 a night. I took it. The hotel wasn’t luxurious but provided for my needs. I know you are looking for a lodging but still, HK$ 15-30 is very, very far from HK$400 a night. Hongkong is expensive. Can’t complain because that’s almost half the price I paid for my accommodation in Beijing. I don’t know how you can survive on that budget. A t-shirt I got from the night market already costs HK$100. One lunch meal I had was roughly HK$250. A glass of orange juice and a croissant at the HK Airport costs HK$90. O_o |

| Shegottobe, Unfortunately you have paid rather a lot for rooms in HK and Beijing. A nice cheap off the street kind of meal on HK will cost as little as HK15 and in Beijing maybe Y4/5 for a bowl of noodles I paid Y120 but now it's Y140 for a nice twin share room, with private bath in a restored Siheyuan in Beijing in 2006. It is a Youth Hostel but the place has recently been on TV so it may get busier and a little more expensive. They have common share rooms share bathroom etc for Y50 for night so much depends on where you ask and where you look for information. I found Beijing Accom online and I'm not sure that we booked but they were busy. |

| Oh well, what’s done is done. Not gonna sweat over it. Can you tell me the hotel name and website of the siheyuan in Beijing, if possible? (^_^) I'll also try Beijing accomodation online. |

| Good luck finding somewhere cheap in HK, I usually pay 400 HK$ and the room is small. If you find somewhere let us all know |
