[quote=BARONTWANGLE,271338]Hotels vary enormously from region to region.  In Beijing, a comfortable and clean mid range hotel will be about 400 yuan per night.  In Yangshou it will be about 50 yuan per night.  These prices are for a room, not per person.  Food is not expensive anywhere (obviously you can find expensive if you look hard enough!), but in Yangshuo it is not good.  I have spent a lot of time in Yangshuo, and can honestly say that I have never had a meal which is better than average.  The western restaurants are the worst.

Regarding CLARENCEGUO's suggested itinerary, I think it is way too ambitious for an elderly couple.  I think you should limit yourself to 6 destinations in a month.  Remember that China is a big country, and you will generally need a day to get between each destination.  So that is 6 days gone already!  It's better to see a few places properly and enjoy them, rather than rushing around and not really seeing anything.  If you only plan to spend 2 days in Yangshuo, it might rain on those days, and then you will have to leave.  Better to relax, and not worry about having the odd day to do nothing.

Good Luck.
