Topic From: Beijing Weather in October
I need to know the type of clothing to bring for middle-end of. October for Beijing. Are there laundry mars to wash clothes (self service) or others. Are there hotels moderately priced with a small refrigerator in them? Is it easy to use the subway system. Also what does RM mean (saw it listed reg money to take transit system) Thanks for any info. I am sure there will be more questions.
Dear Veda,
Based on the former data, the average temperature will be 10-20℃（50-68℉）, it will be cool. You could take some shirts and coats.
In some hotels, they will provide laundry service, the rate depends the kind of clothes. It costs about CNY10-20/US$1.6-3.3 for a piece.
There is a small refrigerator in some hotels such as 4 star or 5 star hotel. It depends on which hotel you are staying.
It is easy to take a subway in Beijing, here is their official website: http://www.ebeijing.gov.cn/feature_2/Subway_Tour/
I am not sure what RM is, I think it might RMB, which it is Chinese currency.

Dear Stephen,
Thanks for your question. We did not arrange overnight staying at Cuandixia Village because the condition of guest house near Cuandixia Village is not good. It is no easy to get there by public transport, especially for foreign travelers. As a travel agency, we glad to arrange one day trip to Cuandixia Village from and back to Beijing. Please check you mail box about the detail quotation of this one day trip and feel free contact me if you need to book it.
Have a nice day.
