Hi Zippy,
I was there last month. You will have a great time - believe me. So much to see & do.
Re the breakfasts - the hotels do everything you may like - try the chicken sausages - there is continental breakfast, chinese breakfast & the good old full English!
Lunch & dinner are Chinese, but different in different areas. Also try the Chinese beer - not like English beer.
You only need to take a small amount of yuan (about £50) as the exchange rate is better in China. I took sterling too & the hotel reception will exchange money. I also took my debit & credit cards - but remember to notify your band & credit card company so they don't block your cards.
Your tour manager will take great care of you, so there is nothing to worry about, just go & enjoy your trip!
Have a great holiday - I know you will.
Be happy,
Best wishes,
