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 three daily tiers reflect different ways of spending time and money in the city. At the budget level of $45 per day, spending centers on simple lodging, inexpensive meals, and public transit. The mid-range tier of $110 per day adds better hotel rooms, sit-down restaurant meals, and occasional taxis, while the luxury tier of $235 per day covers full-service accommodation, dining out regularly, and private transport; over a week these add up to $315, $770, and $1,645 respectively.
The cheapest and quietest months to visit are January, February, and December, when demand is lower and travelers can generally expect to spend at or near the budget end of these ranges. All figures in this section are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary by traveler and by choices around lodging and dining.
