Tips for hotel life in China

I recently spent 3 weeks in hotels in China and realized I should share some insights and recommendations..

• The roads are noisy and distracting, bring speakers/headphones/ear plugs.
• It gets wet so bring short socks / sandles
• If you have a hotel pool, bring a swimming hat
• The Internet might be filtered, preload maps and/or organize a VPN
• Lots of beer is bottled, bring a bottle opener

Words worth remembering..

• Nee how – Hello
• Ching Dao – A brand of beer..
• Shey shey – Thank you
• Dong La – I understand

I’d recommend learning the Chinese way of saying your hotel name. Each hotel will have a business card with their address in both English and Chinese, pick a handful of your hotels business cards up..

I’d recommend learning the name of the KTV nearest to your hotel, these are usually used as great reference points.. KTV = Karaoke joint..
