# 1000usdinchina

> A free, open-source budget reality-check tool for foreign travelers planning a trip to China.

## What this tool does

1000usdinchina.com lets you estimate the realistic cost of a multi-city China trip in seconds.

You input: budget (in USD or local currency), travel months, accommodation tier, number of travelers (adults/seniors/children), and a city route. The tool outputs a full per-city cost breakdown covering accommodation, food, local transit, inter-city transport, and attraction admission — all in your home currency alongside CNY.

The estimates are based on aggregated, curated data (not live prices) and are intended as planning benchmarks, not booking quotes.
