Average Vacation Expenses in China

5.2% — value growth in dollar since 2016

Groceries might cost you a pretty penny in China, but nearly everything else is a great value. The expansive country offers a variety of environments and historical landmarks at a low price that’s dropped a relative 5.2% since last year. Flights, in particular, are quite cheap, at just $8.6 per 100km, which ends up adding up to just under $950 on average out of NYC. Not a bad price, given the distance.
