As i was there for three weeks, i toyed with the idea of an apartment, i found a 1 bed in Baoding for 100 yuan per day, at that time the exchange rate would have made it about £300 per month, but it was fully furnished, pretty well decorated, good size bedroom, living room and kitchen. And came with it's own computer and internet conection. Bear in mind the guy new it was a very short term let, so probably increased the price because of that. I Guess if you can say you want a longer term lease then that price would come down. Plus, that probably was the 'western' price too...:icon_cheesygrin:
