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
At the budget level of $45 a day, most of the spending goes toward simple lodging, cheap local meals, and public transport, with little left for extras. The mid-range figure of $110 a day allows for a private room, sit-down restaurant meals, and occasional paid attractions, while the luxury tier of $235 a day covers more comfortable lodging and private transport, with the same pattern holding over a full week at $315, $770, and $1,645.
February, May, and July are the off-season months, when the city is quieter and prices tend to be lower than during peak months. All the dollar figures here are estimates meant to give a general sense of cost rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary by traveler and by where and how they book.
