| You could use the water and snack from the hotel so that you could pay for the bill with your card. And there are ATM machine everywhere downtown. So you'll be ok as long as your card is ok abroad... |

| I think you should also count the money for buying souvenirs as well. If you looks like a foreigner, definitely you'll pay much more for the souvenirs and it's hard to tell how much is enough. So ask your tour guide before paying for anything. Snacks and water won't cost much. |

| But basically, no matter how much money you bring with you, you would find it's not enough... |

| GUEST13023 | How much shopping will you do and what do you want to spend money on? Bring $3,000 or more, in new or good condition bills. |

| Unless you are planning massive extravagances, then you can easily survive on US$50 to US$100 per day. My wife and I did 8 days last January and went through US$530 incidental money. We ate out in local restaurants, rather than hotel and western ones. Used subways and trains for transport where possible. Prepay accommodation where possible so you dont have to carry large sums. A nice evening meal might cost 40-50 yuan. A more formal restaurant may set you back 100-150 yuan. A nice Beijing duck feast may be 190 yuan. To me all these are very cheap compared to restaurants in my home town. |

| GUEST13023 | If you are not going to do a lot of shopping, bring less than $3,000, like CROSIS suggested. |

| With guided tour you don't have much time to rest, even for meal. Just bring RMB2000 is more than enough if you're not into shopping or going to the bar for drinking. You'd be buying some tea which the cheapest green tea is aboiut RMB36 per kg. Some tea can be quite expensive too, it depends on grades. Ask your tour guide. Wan |
