As already said, it depends on what you want to do.  I easily live on 1000 rmb per 6 days.  That's ten quid a day in round figures.  You can spend less, but what's the point of tryting to save a pound or two a day?  That's just 30 quid or so for the whole trip - you can just skip one Saturday night at the pub to pay for it.

Hostels are a good way ton start and are from 2.50 to 5.00 pounds a night for members (5 pound in China).  Chaep hotels are typoically 50 tom 80 rmb a night but there are cheaper, but not always easy to find without speaking Chinese and some are downright disgusting.  You are not likely to be able to rent a flat for such a short period. It is possible to stay in rural homes, I am told, but I have never done it.  Transport: go to the train tab/icon near the top of this page and do a search. Hard seat prices are the cheapest butb are not always available..even when listed.   Buses are usu a little dearer, but vary in price - and it is not always easy to shop around.  However if you can get to the edge of town onb the right non freeway road you can hail the more local buses which are cheaper... but it is not always that easy for the inexperienced China traveller who does not speak Chinese.   Hitch hiking IS possible but some drivers will expect payment. Don't use a thumb, but wave like u might to a taxi. I have only ever met one hitch hiker and spoken to one other.[/quote]
