Generally speaking, finding a cheap place to bed down for the night is easy enough to do
in China. Cheap hotels can be found in every city, and hostels abound in larger tourist
cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The cheapest way to sleep in China may very well be
camping. There’s no question that pitching a tent in a secluded location and hitting the
sack is cheap, but this practice is illegal. Camping is only legal when it is done at
designated campsites which may be difficult to locate, or may even exclude international
visitors. So camping may be cheap but it is inconvenient.
One of the best ways to sleep cheaply in China is to sleep on the move. No, this article
does not advocate sleep-walking, but it does advocate booking sleeper train or bus tickets.
Sleeping en route to the next tourist destination is a terrific way to get the most out of a
limited amount of time. The sleeper cars of trains in China are probably the most
comfortable option for snoozing while on the go. The degree of privacy afforded in a
sleeper train or bus is obviously a lot lower than that of a hotel, but many travelers enjoy
the experience nonetheless.
But what about lengthier stays of a few days to a week or two in one city, you may ask?
Perhaps the cheapest sleeping option, especially in larger cities in China, is couch surfing.
The internet has made this option available, and now websites like www.couchsurfing.org
include many members both seeking and offering temporary sleeping spaces—whether
couches, floors, or extra beds in spare rooms—in the People’s Republic of China. Couch
surfers enjoy a unique cultural immersion experience which hotels, hostels and even

2. sleeper cars cannot offer. Couch surfing across China is a great way to meet new people
and learn about Chinese culture, or see how other expats live in China (as many expats
host couch surfing travelers). Of course safety measures must be taken when couch
surfing and travelers should only use trusted websites to connect with potential hosts.
Couch surfing may very well be the cheapest and most enjoyable way to sleep in China.
