CHINA FIELDNOTES / YOUR JOURNEY

Build a budget that fits your trip.

Enter your own estimates in Chinese yuan (CNY). There are no live prices or exchange rates here.

Your assumptions

Keep the whole group in this one worksheet. Shared rooms and transport can make a per-person average misleading.

YOUR ESTIMATE / CNY

Add your estimates

Zero-filled fields are unbudgeted items, not free services. Calculate after entering your assumptions.

What the worksheet includes

Accommodation = nights × rooms × room estimate. Food = days × people × food estimate. The other four fields are whole-trip amounts. The reserve is added as a separate amount, rather than an assumed percentage.

Add international tickets, insurance, visa or permit costs and any bank or roaming charges under “Other” when applicable. Convert non-CNY costs using a rate you choose, and check whether deposits are additional cash-flow needs. The result is a planning sum, rather than a price quote, affordability assessment or exchange service.
