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 1.25, 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 reflect where money typically goes: the $55 budget tier covers basic lodging, cheap meals, and public transport, the $125 mid-range tier adds more comfortable lodging and restaurant meals, and the $265 luxury tier covers higher-end lodging and dining plus more paid activities. Individual costs like a hotel room, a meal, or a SIM card add up differently depending on personal choices, but the three tiers give a general sense of what a day costs at each comfort level.
January, November, and December are the cheapest and quietest months to visit, falling outside the May-through-September peak season. All figures in this section, including the daily and weekly tiers and the individual item estimates, are estimates rather than fixed prices, and actual spending will vary by traveler and by specific choices made during the trip.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jan, Nov and Dec.
