If you want to consider both economic issues and hotel hygiene and safety, I suggest you live in the suburbs (for example, near the government of Daiyue District: Daiyue District is located in the suburbs). It is not too far from the city. Take bus (No.6 or No.8) to the railway station for about 20 minutes, and then take bus No.3 from the railway station to the entrance. Look at it! The fare is only a few dollars. Living alone can save tens of dollars a day, and food is cheaper than in the city-you save money!
If you think this is ok, don't forget to invite me to dinner!
thank you
