The Cost of Travel in China (and How to Do it on $25 Per Day!)

By western standards, China is a very cheap and inexpensive place to visit. As I’ve outlined previously, the cost of living like a local in China is very, very low. At the small restaurants around the corner from my apartment, dinner costs a dollar and a large beer costs 50 cents. I knew that the cost of travel in China would be slightly higher than this, as everything on any “tourist route” is bound to be, but I was curious to know just how much I would actually spend.
