China

My daughter travelled alone through China fir a month or so recently and had a wonderful time. Don’t think it was terribly expensive and if you are on a tour most will probably be paid for in advance.

DH suggests you become vegetarian for the trip.

Eating out is good value on the whole. A big bowl of noodles or a plate of dumplings at a local place costs a few pounds, while Western style coffee in Shanghai costs about what it does at home. Wine is the pricey one, local beer like Tsingtao is cheap. Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay before you go, plenty of small places don’t take cash or foreign cards
