Use www.kayak.com, it searches several web sites for the cheapest price. I also find www.wotif.com prices pretty hard to beat. You can also google your hotel name and see what comes up.

I have used chinahighlights.com two times. They are reliable and everything has been ok.

If you are traveling in January wait till the last minute & try booking on ctrip or elong. Yes i agree wotif is good & sometimes throws up some really good deals.

If you book now you won't get discounted prices & most discounting websites won't offer deals this far ahead.

Yes we have had a number of one off posters advertising "China Highlights" so will discount you. And can you please stop bringing up old posts as it is very annoying.

try sinohotel.com or sinohotelguide.com, here you book but pay directly to the hotel when you arrive.
