Estimate baseline verified August 2026. Range = midpoint ±15% for city-tier and seasonal variation.
How the estimate works
The calculator uses a per-person-per-day baseline for each travel style, then applies a ±15% range to absorb seasonal variation. Accommodation uses (days − 1) nights — you sleep one fewer night than the days you are in the country.

Quick tips
- Shanghai and Beijing run higher than smaller cities; holidays spike hotel prices, so widen the range for Golden Week.
- This is a planning estimate, not a quote — treat the range as your real planning band.
The #1 budget surprise: underestimating intercity transport. A 3-city trip already means 2 high-speed-rail legs per person — budget them explicitly.
