What kind of net would you like to work?
@bluegrass: If you have a rmb account in a Chinese bank (I use BOC) you can withdraw as much as you want, I think - anyway I've never been stopped.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM.
