- Each month shows what places asked on the days in its Read column; a month already past was read before its nights, so months read at different times are compared as read.
A month's figure is the median of its nightly medians, and a night's the median asking price for one night. A month is listed once it has at least 15 measured nights, each with at least 30 places showing a price.

Places with no price, by month
In each of the 3 months measured in Beijing, the median night had 4% of checked places showing no price (sold out or closed).
| Month | No price, median night | Highest night | Places checked a night (median) |

| December 2026 | 4% | 2 December 2026: 5% | 208 |
| January 2027 | 4% | 3 January 2027: 5% | 208 |
Counted place by place: a checked place with no price that night is sold out or closed. A month already past shows what had no price when it was read.
Event nights, by month
Months with published events in Beijing: 1 of the 3 measured (events in all: 1); the highest night against comparable nights was 1 January 2027 (New Year's Day), +3%.
| Month | Events | Highest night | Event | Median that night | Against comparable nights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 2027 | 1 | 1 January 2027 | New Year's Day | $77 | +3% |
Each percentage compares that night's median with measured nights of the same kind (weekday or weekend) within a week either side. It describes the night; it does not say the event moved the price.
