Budget accommodation in Zhengzhou, Henan |
Zhengzhou | Jun 4, 2007 09:10
There appears to be plenty of better type accommodation around the railway station and associated bus station (which is not the Central Bus station which is a km or so to the north). But it is not easy to know which way to go for budget accom...which to me means 100rmb or less.
DO NOT be tempted by the touts offering a 31rmb room, it is a disgusting place.
Turn right (south) from the station and follow the road out of the square.... there are few places to choose from on the right...one uses the same stairway as a Net bar. I stayed in the Zhong Mei Hotel opposite (and not before!) the large Yinji Commercial and Trading building. It only has rooms without bathroom, for 45 rmb single, but it is probably the cleanest place I have been in. There is a hotel at the far end of this street too. The 2 net bars here are the best I have even been in. There are also two good cheap eating places by second net bar.
A bit more expensive: as you exit the station go around the block opposite, which hides the bus station, and you will find the Datong Hotel, advertsed rate 100rmb... I don't know what it is like.
But there doesn't seem a lot to come here for !!
When a green man means danger |

In the west we are used to a green man at traffic lights meaning it is safe to cross. This is most definitely NOT the case in China. Traffic also often has a green light and does not give way.
It is NEVER safe to cross w ithout looking both ways first
