  • What can $350 a month get you in China? What kind of apartment can you rent for that price? Let's take a tour of my mom's Chinese apartment and find out.
    Compared to price and cost if living in Shanghai or Beijing, ofcourse this is the perfect city and price 😉🤩
    How does it compare to your rent currently?

    Right now it's very cold in other cities across China, while Kunming enjoys a spring-like climate throughout the year. That's why I'd say you and your mom are very lucky.

    That was a lovely apartment tour. I'm amazed at how cheap the rent is. I'm paying £476 per month (4410RMB) for a one-bedroom apartment in the UK. That does not include local council tax. The only criticism I can make is the TV is too small. I would have an 82-inch TV.

      中国的每个城市成本都不同。一般来说,北京、上海和深圳是生活成本最高的三座城市,主要是房租比较高。同一座城市不同地段的租金差别也是很大的。Lizzy所在的昆明生活成本相对不高。
      一般中国人每个月的生活成本:电话费用80-200元(含免费有线网络)、电费0.5-2元/kw、水费1-2元/t、公交车2元/次(地铁2-8元之间,视距离远近有不同价格)、出租车2-3元/km。
      中国农产品物价非常便宜,种类众多。因为地域广大(从热带到寒带,从平原到高原到沙漠),各地农产品价格都不同,一般蔬菜是2-5元/斤(1斤=0.5kg=500g),猪肉大约12元/斤,牛肉大约18元/斤,羊肉大约20元/斤。
      工业产品价格非常低廉,除了国际性大品牌外,普通产品至少比西方便宜一半,便宜几倍的也很常见。

      @zhidongchen8759 2 месяца назад +2

      @YoonJintae98 还有一件事不得不提,就是中国的医疗费用对于西方人来说出奇地低廉。即便没有中国的医疗保险,价格也低廉到令西方人难以置信,而且不需要排队。我知道有个居住在加拿大的中国人回国换牙,加上机票钱都都比在加拿大便宜。所以想检查身体的话,可以去找一家大型中国医院,大概一个上午或下午就可以搞定全身体检并得到结果。基于中国的人口数量,中国医生在常见病的诊治检查方面是世界一流的。

    Could you make a video about how the process is for going there. I understand there is a tourist visa for 10 days, but what after that? And how is it done practically. What about language and bureaucracy? In short what is the process?

    One problem that everyone ignores is that it is also the yuan that is made in China. 5,000 a month, 2600 rent, still very high.

      Her mother's salary includes not only basic salary but also performance-based salary, housing subsidy, and transportation subsidy. She mentioned that her mother's school provides a housing subsidy of 3000 RMB, and the rent for this house is only 2600 RMB. She works as a teacher in a Chinese university and earns a salary of over 10000 RMB

    Those buildings were 7 floors because they were originally walkups. LOL. Nobody wanted higher. Weird how yours has elevators.
    That's what my GF had in an older neighborhood in Chengdu, 6th floor. It was 100m 3 br also. At least it had a real bathtub, but the stupid mini water heater was in the kitchen and she wouldn't turn up the heat. She had 2 nice cats and clutter too. LOL.
    Plumbing and heating was horrible of course. The walls are also crazy thick bricks.
    In 2014/15 I rode my bicycle from Saigon then thru Guangzi and Guizhou. Then a bus ride to Chengdu for a 9 week stay. Before that I was there for 3 weeks in the quaint developing years, 2006 and 2009.

      非常远。她们住的地方是中国的一个边陲省份--云南:那里四季如春,不会太热也不会太冷。由于远离中国的核心区域,属于中国最不发达省份之一。所居住的城市“昆明”属于介于二线与三线之间的城市:在行政上由于是省会城市属于二线城市,但就经济繁荣与规模而言属于中国的三线城市。
      而你说的北京则是中国的政治中心,上海是中国的经济中心,广州是中国的对外贸易中心。宁波属于浙江省,是一座发展中的三线城市。
      It's really far away. They live in Yunnan, which is a border province in China. The weather there is nice all year round, not too hot and not too cold at all. Since it's quite a distance from the core areas of China, it's one of the least developed provinces in the country. The city they live in, Kunming, is kind of in between a second-tier and a third-tier city. In terms of administration, as it's the provincial capital, it's considered a second-tier city. But when it comes to economic prosperity and scale, it's actually a third-tier city in China.
      And the Beijing you mentioned is the political center of China. Shanghai is the economic center, and Guangzhou is the foreign trade center. Ningbo belongs to Zhejiang Province and it's a developing third-tier city.

      @ thank you so much. I love China so much. I manufactured in China from 2000 to 2008. I really want to come back. I’m retired. It’s so cold in Beijing. I use to be there in December a lot. Foreigners were picking up their adopted children during that time. I can’t remember the city but I think the hotel I would stay at was White Swan???? Not clear on it.

    • @TANAndy-cg9sn
      @TANAndy-cg9sn 2 месяца назад +1

      Haha. You bet! Beijing is really freezing cold in winter! You know, it's in the north of China, and the weather there makes you feel like you're in Northern Europe. In contrast, Guangzhou is down in the south of China, and it's pretty warm even during the wintertime.
      Come to China and relive those good old memories of yours. Compared to when you left in 2008, China has changed a whole lot now. There are just so many differences that I can't list them all for you one by one. Generally speaking, the environment here is nicer for living, and life is a lot more convenient too. Well, both South Korea and Japan in East Asia are doing great when it comes to safety and convenience in daily life. But compared with them, things in China are much cheaper. That's because China makes nearly half of the world's goods, and it's always cheaper to buy stuff where they're produced. Besides, the Chinese government buys a huge amount of grain and meat from all over the world (China has made a ton of money, and it gives back to trading partners in this way to balance the trade deficit. Actually, China's self-sufficiency rate of grain is over 95%). So the government can keep prices at a pretty low level. If you're thinking about living abroad for a long time after you retire, China would be a great choice. If you don't like winters that are too cold, you can choose to live in the southern provincial capitals of China, like Guangzhou City (it's in Guangdong Province), which you've been to before. It's warm all year round, but not overly hot. Also, Kunming City in Yunnan Province is another good option. It's warm there all year round as well. The only difference from Guangzhou is that it's a bit farther away when it comes to transportation. When it comes to food, Guangzhou's cuisine fits Europeans and Americans' tastes better. You see, Guangzhou is China's earliest open port to the outside world. It's been in touch with the West for over 200 years, so its food has blended Western tastes and cooking skills quite well in terms of flavor and how the dishes are prepared.

      @ thank you. Yes I often said I’d retire in China. I love the people, the culture and everything about it. They say America is the greatest in the world🤦🏻‍♀️. Crime is horrendous, no one can afford to live here. Our food is awful full of non food! Expensive! Homelessness everywhere. I’m not tying to put America down but it has changed. I’m 69
      And simply over the corruption and lies! It was a great country. Hoping it returns that way again. I want to stay in touch with you if you don’t mind. Again thank you so much for your wealth of information and kindness you’ve shown me💕
