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 Colombia?

Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Adding my experience from February.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
