Best places to stay in China

From rustic homesteads, homestays, youth hostels, student dormitories, guest- houses, courtyard lodgings, boutique hotels and historic residences to five-star tow- ers, China’s accommodation choice is impressive, on a national level. The choice varies enormously, however, between regions and cities. Top-tier cities such as Běijīng, Shànghǎi, Hángzhōu and Hong Kong sport a rich variety of accommodation options but other towns may have a poor supply, despite being inundated with visitors. In fact, many travellers decide where to visit in China on the strength of the local accommodation choice.
