Every amount in this table is an estimateestimate, derived from the World Bank price level for China rather than quoted by any seller.

How this is calculated

A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of China (0.472567178053175, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 7.18984737402171 CNY to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.

These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes

In Bao'an, the daily budget tier of $45 covers basic lodging, cheap local meals, and public transport, while the mid-range tier of $110 allows for more comfortable lodging, restaurant meals, and paid attractions. The luxury tier of $235 leaves room for higher-end hotels, dining, and transport such as taxis. Over a full week, these tiers scale to $315, $770, and $1,645, giving a sense of total trip cost across comfort levels.

The cheapest and quietest months to visit are May, June, and July, the off-season identified in the climate data, when travelers may find lower demand for lodging even though the listed daily costs are estimates rather than fixed prices. Because prices vary by season, availability, and personal spending habits, these figures should be treated as a general guide rather than an exact quote.

Cheapest months by climate demand: May, Jun and Jul.
