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 estimates for Wenzhou, $45 for budget, $110 for mid-range, and $235 for luxury, mostly reflect differences in lodging quality and dining choices, since local transport and basic sightseeing fees stay low across all tiers. Over a full week these tiers total $315, $770, and $1,645, with the gap widening as travelers add better hotel rooms and more varied restaurant meals rather than street food.
Prices ease further during the off-season months of February, July, and August, when fewer visitors are traveling and lodging demand drops.
