If i remember correctly, 1 of the bro here mention before that sg1K should be enough. Also I went to tiger air check air ticket. About sg$350 for 2 way trip. Left with sg$650. Change to rmb will be around 3250rmb.

1.Hotel about 150 per day=600rmb
2.Took 1 gal for overnight/day at 500= 1500rmb
3.Food,beer,massage,transport i think 1150rmb should be enough ba. This is how i break down the cost. Pls correct me if i am wrong.

Expenses break down for 4D3N:

Tiger air from sg to and flo from Macau : S$300 (avg)
Taxi from macau to Gongbei custom S$15 x 2 (return) : S$30
Clear Gongbei custom : Free (by foot)
Coach to ferry termial S$13 x 2 (return) : S$26
Mini bus to XCD exit S$2 x 2 (return) : S$4 (free if ask
hotel to pick u)
Entrance fee to XCD resort : S$8
Hotel less than $30 quite ok already. x 3nite : S$90
Normal Massage S$14 for 2hrs x 4 days + $2 tips : S$64
Wash hair at saloon everyday x 4 days : S$12
Lunch/Dinner/supper (avg per meal S15) x 4days
BAse on 1st day 1 dinner and supper - (S$30)
2nd and 3rd day 1 lunch, dinner and supper - (S$90)
last day 1 lunch - (S$15)
(din mention breakfast cos usually wake up noon,
amt base on min 4 pax and more ppl, makan will be
cheaper and more variety)
Gal S$100 x 3 nites + tips (SS$20, tho give S$10 ok liao) : S$360

So budget S$1K should be enough already unless u r a big tipper and anyhow spent money. Gals or MM sometimes will quote u S$120 (600rmb) for LT but be firm n tell them u not first time come here n u know the price which is last time only rmb400.

As for seafood, make sure u ask how much per jin and roughly eg. fish how heavy when u choose the fish. Supper, when u order ask them how much per stick etc. unless u lazy and ask the gal to call and deliver to ur hotel room (read my FR).

Massage gal will ask u to treat them eat lunch/dinner. Bear in mind, u have to pay for their hours when they accompany u go makan/drinkingeven tho u treat them and seldom u will get anything back from them.


Other info- beer S$1 - S$2 depend on places, water sports etc i duno

Hope this info helps u all.

Thanks for the info bro. I try to add up your breakdown and it came up to SG$999. So i think my buget of SG1K should be enough for me to enjoy a 4D3N trip to XCD. Thou i will change a bit more(around SG$100) to standby for ST.


May i ask are you free on the mention date that i post in my earlier post? Maybe you can be our experience guide.
13thMay(sun)-16thMay(wed)
27thMay(sun)-30thMay(wed)

Bro unfit, I never been to CP or DG before cos base on the LT price provide by fellow bros, i shake head already cos i feel that too expensive and i give it a miss.

Tho i cant compare XCD with CP/DG but base on buy durian logic, u pay so much to buy a cat mountain king in CP/DG, of cos the quality should be good. But sometime when u tao pao, the durian flesh is beautiful to see but not nice to eat. But if it is nice to eat, very normal right base on the price.

As for XCD, its just like u are paying the price for a San Pa Durian. Most of the San Pa Durian is cheap, but bear in mind some san pa durian is dam good also.

Hmmm, just a word of advice, if ur primary objective is to go there for a good bonking, then ur disappointment mayb very great. If u take it as go there enjoy the sea breeze, eat cheap and fresh seafood, yes very fresh seafood, cheap massage, additional will be swimming/cycling/sea sport activities (if u like this) and lastly then bonking then im sure u will enjoy the trip.

Im quite sure the gals there sure gum ur taste [unless u r dam young, subjective], if buay gum, then ta 3 big bottles of beer in a row and im sure sure gum one. Or else, dun choose them under the broad daylight, night time cant see clearly and under the influence of alcohol, simi lan also gum lah. wahahha.

Actually in CP, the LT for BBS is 500 to 600rmb, only when you go KTV, the LT can range from 800rmb to 3000rmb to even more.

Totally agree with bro hawk88, there are gems to be found in "San Pa" Durain which can be on par with "cat mountain king".
