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 difference mostly comes down to lodging quality and how many paid activities or private transport options a traveler adds on. At $45 a day a visitor is covering basic guesthouse-style lodging, cheap local meals, and public transit, while the $110 mid-range tier allows for better rooms, restaurant meals, and occasional taxis, and the $235 luxury tier adds more comfortable lodging and less budget-conscious choices throughout the day.
The cheapest and quietest months to visit are February, October, and November, when both accommodation demand and visitor numbers drop compared with the May-through-August peak. All figures here, including the daily and weekly tiers, are estimates meant as planning guidance rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary by individual choices and by season.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Feb, Oct and Nov.
