Taishan Part 13: Our Hotel Room in Taicheng







The Taishan Garden Hotel is a 3-star hotel but it’s very well maintained. We paid 236 CNY (Chinese Renminbi), about $35 USD. It has a western restaurant in the lobby and a whole separate 2-story Chinese restaurant next door. We had most meals in the hotel. One lunch we had BBQ pork, some dim sum, and stir-fried potato leave, a local seasonal vegetable that tastes similar to Ong-choi but better. The BBQ pork, while very tasty, had too much fat. The next meal we had dim sum and squab which was also excellent. Everything is very cheap by U.S. standards; each meal was about $8 USD.

Our room is clean, comfortable and spacious. What’s most amazing is it even has a computer with free Internet access. I was able to get a lot of work and e-mails done in the room.
