Budgeting for a trip to Anshan in 4 months?
honestly you can get by on like 200-300 yuan a day if youre not being fancy. street food around 219 Park or the night markets is cheap, a proper meal is maybe 30-50 kuai. transit is dirt cheap, buses are 1-2 yuan and taxis around town rarely hit 20. sightseeing-wise, Jade Buddha Park is like 30 yuan and the Qianshan entry is around 80 i think. just avoid the tourist trap restaurants near the big spots and youll be fine
depends on your style but if you're not staying in a hostel or eating noodles every meal i'd say around 400-500 a day is comfortable. tbh the Anshan Museum is free and pretty good for a couple hours, just show your passport at the entrance. for transit, the subway line 1 covers most of the city center and it's only 2-4 yuan per ride depending on distance. if you're into hiking, skip the cable car at Qianshan and take the east trail instead, it's free and the views are better imo
Four months out gives you time to catch the tail end of spring, which is nice for Qianshan. I'd budget closer to 350-400 yuan a day if you want to eat at decent local spots like the ones on Shengli Road near the train station, where a hot pot dinner for one runs about 60-80. The bus to Qianshan is only a few yuan from the city center, but the cable car up the mountain adds another 40 or so if you want to skip the hike.

the guide is right about the marriott being a solid luxury option but honestly the qianshan hot spring resort is a better value if ur here to see the park, rooms are around 600 and you get the outdoor baths included which is huge after hiking the mountain. for getting around, the bus system can be a pain but most hotels in tiexi will call you a taxi for like 10 cny to 219 park, just ask the front desk to write the destination in chinese on a card. also if u want cheap eats, the noodle shops on wusi street near the railway station do a solid bowl of lamian for 8 cny and they're open late
good breakdown of the options. i'd add that the area around 219 park has some hidden alley restaurants, especially on gongnong street, where you can get proper anshan-style hotpot for like 60 cny for two people, way cheaper than the tourist spots near the square. also if you're relying on the bus, the routes do have digital boards inside that show stops in chinese only, so saving a screenshot of your route in gaode maps helps a ton
honestly the guide nails it but one thing nobody's mentioned is the hot spring resort in qianshan is prob the best place to stay if you're hiking, rooms around 600 and the outdoor baths are legit after a day on the mountain. also for cheap eats, the street food stalls near 219 park at night are way better than any hotel restaurant, try the grilled skewers on gongnong street for like 2 cny each.
