Differently to our previous holidays our group of friends gave preference to pre-booking all the accommodation. Whilst it will save time running around looking for accommodation it also restricts our freedom as we now have a strict itinerary.
We live in Perth, Western Australia, and we will be flying to Macau on arrival and departure of China. Flying to Macau rather than directly to Hong Kong or a China city is inexpensive; I am also looking forward to seeing the Portuguese style buildings in Macau.
We chose Tiger Airways for our international flights as they are a budget airline who give considerable savings, the prices were as follows:
From Perth to Macau, Saturday 22nd December 2007, total price $1668 AUD
From Macau to Perth, Sunday 13th January 2008, total price $1076 AUD
The following lists our itinerary and the prebooked hotels we will be staying at with prices per night. Generally, we prefer to stay at less costly accommodation but the other members of our travelling group had a preference of 3 to 4 star hotels.
Hong Kong: Dorsett Olympic Hotel, 23rd December to 26th December; $274 AUS
Harbin: Friendship Palace Hotel, 26th December to 29th December; $189 AUS
Beijing: Park Plaza Beijing Wangfujing, 29th December to 3rd January; $438 AUS
Shanghai: City Hotel, 3rd January to 7th January; $291 AUS
