Airbnb vs 中国酒店——哪个更好？
你正在挑选住宿,在民宿和酒店之间权衡。
推荐
行程少于 7 晚,或独自/双人出行,选酒店;3 人及以上团体,或需要厨房、住宿 7 晚以上,可以考虑民宿。
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| 酒店 | 几乎适合所有人——刷护照即可轻松入住,有英语前台,没有居住登记的麻烦。 | 同等价格下房间较小;缺乏当地特色。 |
| Airbnb / 短租 | 3人及以上的团体、想要厨房的家庭、在同一城市住宿7晚及以上的长住旅客。 | 房东必须带你去当地派出所登记;部分公寓楼禁止外国人入住;没有每日客房清洁服务。 |

Other Destinations decisions
Should I visit Beijing or Shanghai first?
Pick Beijing for a first trip with ≤7 days; pick Shanghai for repeat visits or food-focused trips.
Is Chengdu worth visiting?
Yes if you have 3+ extra days and care about food or animals; skip only if you're under time pressure.
Is Xi'an worth visiting on a 7-day trip?
Include Xi'an for 2 days if it's your first China trip — the Warriors and the city wall are unmatched.
Is Hong Kong worth adding to a mainland China trip?
Yes if you have 2+ days and want a decompression zone; Hong Kong counts as a "third country" for 240-hour transit re-entry.
Is Guilin worth the trip from Shanghai?
Yes if you have 4+ extra days and want scenery; skip on a 7-day first trip.
