Take as much as you can,the price here is going up considerably.If you are the first time to China,you'd better have a guide.

US 1 = 7 RMB (chinese money) The places in china is much cheaper than hear in the US. If you want all your flights, and hotel set, go to EXPEDIA, there are deals there. OR you can search hotels on your own, it's simple go on google and search for hotels in shanghai or where ever you are staying. Simple.

Well extremely low budget in China can be really low budget. Anyway, for plane tickets see www.elong.com and for train tickets see this site for train schedules and prices http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/index.htm I am going to put all prices in RMB (chinese yuan), so you will have to convert them to your currency yourself. Plane tickets are about 600 RMB, though prices vary considerably. If you get a good deal it might be 300-400 RMB. Cheap meals in Beijng and Shanghai are about 10-20 RMB, a meal at KFC is 20-25 RMB, though you could eat much cheaper if you want. Instant noodles are 2-3 RMB. Western food is usually 50-100 RMB per person. Park and tourist attraction prices vary. A place that is a day's attraction is about 100-150 RMB, while other places are cheaper they will only keep you amused for half a day or a few hours. Hotel prices vary, look at www.elong.com again to see the prices. But an ok hotel in Shanhai is going to 200-300 RMB. If you are going to other places, then it may be a lot cheaper 100-200 RMB for the same quality hotel. In the end it really depends on what you are doing, where you are staying and how much you eat. I have travelled to shanghai and beijing on 500 RMB a day for 2 people in one hotel room. You might want to save money, but you really want to experience as much as possible. Maybe budget 200 a day, and some days you will spend more and others less. Then work out plane tickets and hotel prices seperately.
