Back from China. Spent 4 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Guesthouse near the action. $26/night.
Scene: Absolutely packed — no shortage of options.
Prices: Great value — cheaper than last year.
Highlights: The nightlife area was incredible.
Overall: 9/10 — would highly recommend.
Ask me anything.
China — just got back, quick review

This is outdated info IMO.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

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

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