[quote=CSHANSELLO,229296]Yuan is the same as RMB. Yuan is also called "kuai". The smaller units of money are called "jiao" (formal) or "mao" (informal). I usually spend around 100-200 yuan on a mid to low class hotel. When you go into a hotel, the prices listed are not fixed. You can haggle. Airfair within China is usually between 580 to 900 yuan one way, depending on where you're going. Trains are cheeper. Hard sleeper is the best way to travel comfortably over long distances, but is often sold out. Hard sleeper usually costs about half of a plane trip, but will take much longer. I don't know the average wage in Guangdong specifically, but as an English teacher in China, normal pay is between 3200 and 7000 RMB per month depending on the school, your education, and the city. Even at 3200, it is more than enough to live on. However, I don't know apartment costs, since accomidation has always been included in my contract. Hope that helps![/quote]
