Been thinking about visiting China and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Germany?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $80/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
