Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this budget calculator?
Estimates are based on real travel data from hundreds of China trips I've planned. Actual costs vary by season (prices are 20-40% higher during Chinese holidays and summer), specific hotel choices, and in-city transport decisions. Use this as a realistic starting point — I'll give you exact numbers when I design your trip.
Does the budget vary by city?
Yes. Tier 1 cities like Shanghai and Beijing cost more for accommodation and dining. Smaller cities like Guilin or Dali offer better value. The calculator adjusts the base estimate by city tier, and you can switch destinations to compare.
Can I use this for a group or family trip?
Absolutely. You can set the traveler count from 1 to 20. The calculator shows both the total trip cost and per-person breakdown. Many families find the Mid-Range tier offers the best balance of comfort and value.
