Editing China (section)

===Flights and hotels===
For booking flights and hotels, there is a very convenient English website: [http://www.ctrip.com www.ctrip.com]. Here you'll find competitive rates for flights and accommodations of your choice. (although this is promoting a specific commercial company, it is a good site widely used by the Chinese themselves!). However, it does not have info on backpacker or youth hostels. 

For those who know a little Chinese, also try [http://www.qunar.com www.qunar.com] to find cheap flights in China. This is just a search website that will direct you to other, independent agencies. Investigate payment methods since foreign credit cards are usually not accepted.

These are some of the hostels recommended by our group members: [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=111&post=7140537 Discussion]
