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
Across the three tiers, the daily estimates of $45, $110, and $235 reflect increasing spending on lodging quality, dining choices, and how much is spent on paid activities versus free ones. Over a full week, that scales to $315 on a budget plan, $770 mid-range, or $1,645 for a luxury trip, with lodging typically the largest swing between tiers.
February, July, and August are the cheapest, quietest months to visit, since demand for rooms and services drops outside the peak season. All figures given here, including the cost items listed above, are estimates meant as a general guide rather than fixed prices.
