2026년 중국, 관광객에게 비싼가요?
여행을 예산 짜고 있는데, 중국이 여전히 가성비 좋은 나라인지 아니면 일본·한국 수준에 올라붙었는지 알고 싶으시군요.
추천
중국의 중간 예산 여행 비용은 여전히 일본보다 약 50% 저렴합니다. 1급 도시의 럭셔리 체인 호텔만 가격이 올라갔습니다.
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| 여전히 합리적 | Alipay를 사용하고, 길거리 음식을 먹으며, 3성급 호텔에 묵을 의향이 있는 여행자. | 중급 일일 비용 $100–150은 같은 등급에서 도쿄나 서울보다 여전히 40–60% 저렴합니다. |
| 가격 상승 | 럭셔리 여행자; 국제 브랜드 호텔은 이제 도쿄와 동일한 가격대를 형성하고 있습니다. | 상하이/홍콩의 4성급 체인 호텔은 2023년 이후 30% 상승했습니다. |
The verdict
중국의 중간 예산 여행 비용은 여전히 일본보다 약 50% 저렴합니다. 1급 도시의 럭셔리 체인 호텔만 가격이 올라갔습니다.
