As I said in the other thread. Try walking into the Holiday Inn without a
booking and see if they are cheap!
4 star hotels in China are affordable if pre-booked, but the rack rate if
you just turn up are New York prices.
And (given the comments already made about the certainty of train bookings)
it is not always possible to pre-book.
