Subject: Visiting China - Is it Cheap Anymore? Posted on: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 23:50:39 EDT

I was contemplating a trip to Vietnam through southeastern China and noticed
the VISA fees for China from the US have gone up to $130. A night at the
Sheraton in Jiuzhaigou for October is running $500. I have a booking for
June that I reserved for half that price. I realize the dollar is dropping
like a lead ballon but the increases seem steep compared to a year ago. Is
this a symptom of the 2008 Olympics and will prices drop in September or
later?

Vietnam, while under intense inflationary pressure, still seems to be a
bargain compared to China.
