<span style="font-size: x-large;">Costs</span>

When it comes to the cost of living, Beijing is quite a strange city, where most things are very cheap, but some, especially accommodation, cost the same or more than in other international cities, like New York or London.

The good news is that once you paid for your accommodation, eat and live local, your daily expenses will not be very high. Here a few examples:

[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]

<strong>Lunch at LTL:</strong> 8 - 15 RMB (approx. 1.2 - 2.5 USD)

<strong>One bottle of beer in the bar downstairs from LTL:</strong> 10 RMB (approx. 1.3 USD)

<strong>A subway ride through the whole city:</strong> 2 RMB (approx. 0.4 USD)

<strong>A bus ride through the whole city:</strong> 0.5 - 1 RMB (approx. 0.1 - 0.2 USD)

<strong>One km in a taxi: </strong>2 RMB (0.4 USD)

<strong>A haircut:</strong> 10 - 60 RMB (approx. 1.3 - 9.5 USD)
