    The reason why everything is so cheap in China because the country focus on the people. That is why the country is called the People's Republic of China, and the money (renminbi) translates to people's money, etc. All public companies are basically close to non-profit companies to make sure everything is the most affordable for the people. Contrast that to Capitalist countries where every wealth goes to corporations or a select few people.

      betul sekali... sebenarnya apapun sistem pemerintahannya selama dilakukan untuk kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran rakyatnya maka itu adalah pemerintah yang bagus tidak peduli dia itu sistem kapitalis, komunis maupun kerajaan... selama ini Media barat selalu menganggap komunis adalah jahat dan demokrasi adalah baik padahal itu hanyalah propaganda dari sejumlah elit politik yang ingin menyusupkan agenda mereka untuk keuntungan segelintir kelompok saja.

Karena ga ada kontrol, pemerintahan juga udah dibeli yg akhirnya cuma jadi tameng utk lindungi korporasi dari rakyat.

    If you go to the forbidden city, don't forget to book at least 2 weeks before. You can also go to the temple of heaven and the great wall in Beijing. For sure, don't miss visiting Xi'an City for the terracotta warriors, drum tower and go to Zhang Jia Jie (The avatar mountain). If you like visiting villages, you can go to DaLi, Yunnan, Tiger Leaping Gorge mountain. You can also go for a beach time in the southern part. And if you like visiting more river scenery, go to GuiLin. Standing at the confluence of two rivers, the monumental 1200-year old Buddha image at Le Shan is carved directly into the rock face in SiChuan province. Wanna go see dessert scenery along the ancient slik road, you can see a bunch of collections of Buddhist art among more than 490 Buddhist caves in the area, the mural and statue in DunHuang.

    Pls note the 6 day Transit Visa is to and from Countries AND region - so Taiwan, HongKong and Macao can serve as thirds place to transit to or from. So you go to Shanghai then Hong Kong then Guangzhou then Taipei, then back to Beijing etc. like a city hopping btw mainland, Taiwan and HK/Macao ( greater China) region. So you can do this for 1 month without needing a Visa.
    China is cheap mainly because the inflation has been 1-2% for recent 7-8 years (compared to US where price has inflated 40-50% since 2018). Chinese household good, cars and house have gotten cheaper due to price war and real estate bubble burst.

    I live in Australia (probably the best country in the Anglosphere), security check at the metro/train station would be really annoying for me. This is because in general we have a crappy metro/train system. If I missed my train I'll have to wait a substantial amount of time for the next one (like 15-20 minutes during peak hours, i.e. if there is not delayed). You typically don't need to rush in Chinese metro (also most places in East Asia), trains are always on time, a train comes every 2 minutes during peak hours and 3-4 minutes during other times. BTW, weekends are consider peak hours there, because the metro is so affordable that people actually go out.

    5:52 what you can do to by-pass this situation is go somewhere nearby. Although Hong Kong and Macau is part of China but thanks to the two-system policy they are considered outside of the “boarder”, you can use that as your “transiting destination” and renew your visa. For example I can fly into ChongQing, China from Thailand, and book the flight from ChongQing to Hong Kong, then from Hong Kong to ChengDu, from ChengDu to Macau, and from Macau to ShangHai. It is more expensive than having an actual visa, but much easier to get in lol

    Authentic Beijing food is almost entirely non-spicy, and almost all traditional food from coastal China is non-spicy.
    China's southwest and parts of the west have the habit of eating spicy food, with the flow of population in various regions and people's pursuit of different tastes of food, these spicy food quickly spread to all parts of China.

    What can be really shocking to you about China is housing. For starters, there is no property tax. The big one is housing is really inexpensive in China - there are of course exceptions. Even in a tier one city such as Shenzhen, a 150 sq. m. flat may cost you RMB2000 a month in rent. If you prefer Kunming or Chengdu, housing costs are even lower.

    China is a cashless society, so there is no need to carry annoying coins and banknotes. Many homes are equipped with electronic locks and electronic keys, which can be unlocked using the NFC function of your mobile phone, which is very convenient. Just take your mobile phone with you when you go out. If your mobile phone is out of battery, there are power banks available for rent on the streets. Many people say that they may forget to bring their mobile phones when they go out, but that is impossible. Because you may forget other things, but you will not forget to bring your mobile phone. Because the mobile phone is associated with shopping, Didi, and the subway. If you forget to bring your mobile phone when you go out, you will find that you have forgotten your mobile phone after going out for about ten minutes, and you can return in time.

    security check before enter the metro or railway station is boring, however once you were checked, you will feel extremely safe even into the crowd. the major reason is China has 1.4 billion people, publlic transportation including metra or HSR are always on time like a running machine. however if they haven't done any security check, there will be some accidents happened on the train or metro, that will cause the whole public transportation delayed, then the passengers have to spend more time to wait.

If they rob you, they don't take any cash, If they ask you to transfer money online, it can be traced directly to their account.
