Trip cost estimator

Pick cities, set days per city, choose a tier, get a total in CNY plus your home currency. Uses per-city budget guides from the city pages. Everything runs in your browser — no data sent to us or anyone else.

What the tiers mean

  • Backpacker — dorm bed or basic guesthouse, street food + supermarket breakfast, metro + walking, one paid sight per day
  • Mid-range — 3-star hotel or private-room hostel, sit-down meals in local restaurants, ride-hailing when convenient, most major sights
  • Comfortable — 4-star hotel or better, mix of local + international dining, taxis, all sights + guided experiences

Numbers come from each city's budgetGuideCnyPerDay field on its city page, hand-set from local observation. They exclude flights to and from the city.
