How the Estimate Works

Real 2026 Prices

Every number behind the sliders is a price we've verified in the field: guesthouse beds at 80-120 RMB, beer fish dinners at 60-100, Li River rafts at 120-250 per raft. Move the sliders to match how you actually travel.

What's Included — and What Isn't

The estimate covers hotels, meals, local transport, and activities inside the Guilin-Yangshuo region. International flights, China visas, and gear like eSIMs and VPN subscriptions are separate — our full cost guide breaks those down too.

Where the Money Actually Goes

In this region, accommodation and activities dominate the bill; food is startlingly cheap and good. Cutting hotel grade one notch frees enough for the private driver day or the climbing lesson — the choices people rarely regret.
