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
The daily cost tiers of $45, $110, and $235 reflect three different ways to experience Linyi. At the budget end, most of that $45 goes toward simple lodging, cheap meals, and local transport, while the $110 mid-range figure allows for better rooms, restaurant meals, and occasional paid attractions. The $235 luxury tier adds more comfort and flexibility throughout the day, and these differences scale directly into the weekly totals of $315, $770, and $1,645 for a seven-day stay.
The cheapest and quietest stretch of the year falls in January, February, and December, when both prices and visitor numbers tend to ease compared to the rest of the year. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary depending on specific choices around lodging, dining, and activities.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Feb and Dec.
