4 nights in HK: $100

You'll probably want a bit of money for playing, and souvenirs, too ($100 to $300?). But the above adds up to $1,080, plus air fare to/from China.
Stephen Balaban suggests:
- Eat Jian Bing - buy them from the street (they are egg crepes that
are great for breakfast)
- Go to ZhongGuanCun 中关村, this is technology heaven and is not far from 798
- Go to 798 and check out the Yuanfen~Flow incubator
- Stop by a Beijing Linux Users Group (BLUG) meeting -- Peter Junge
<peter.junge *at* beijinglug *dot* org> & Ollo "Barcode" barcode
<barcode *at* beijinglug *dot* org> are great guys
- I thoroughly enjoyed simply walking around and finding a park early
in the morning or later in the afternoon and just hanging out with old
people doing tai chi and water-brush calligraphy if I wanted to relax
Peter, of the Beijing Int'l Film Fest recommends (in Beijing):
