Thanks for sharing, Nico! I've been living in Beijing and honestly the only thing I pay more for than I did in the States is my rent. Probably going to save for a while to get a somewhat nicer place but I do like how close my current home (in the Olympic Village area) is to work!

Amazing video Nico! I had been waiting for this one. I am glad you covered almost everything here. One thing that I wanted to ask. Is it like we can find fruits and vegetables and other grocery items cheaper in one district of Beijing than the other? Because many people have told me that you have to hunt the cheap places because otherwise groceries are pretty expensive, especially near the major universities. And I was also told that wudaokou is expensive but you said beer is cheap there so I don't know what to believe xD
@Nicofilms
@Nicofilms 5 жыл бұрын
Thank you I'm pleased you found it helpful! To be honest I haven't really shopped for groceries in other districts only near where I live. Most fruit and vegetables near me are pretty reasonable especially if you shop in season. Everything is comparable though I am happy to spend money on these and cook as I enjoy that but a lot of the time people just eat out as you can get noodles for ¥10. Wudaokou is a student area so there might be some expensive parts but there are many student bars where you can get beer for pretty cheap. It all boils down to where you are from and what you are used to. Beijing is a capital city so it is of course more expensive, but I'm from the UK and London is so much more expensive then here. Do you know where you will be living when you come to Beijing?

@simranchawla6 5 жыл бұрын
@@Nicofilms I'd be living either in PKU dorms or in wudaokou from September this year. And I am from India, from the capital but we still get things really cheap here so I don't know how expensive it is going to be for me in Beijing. On top of that, I am vegetarian xD So, since I'd be doing a hell lot of cooking myself so grocery expense is a real worry for me.

Hi Julie, yes many people wear masks on bad days but the pollution is not as bad as everyone thinks. You can see on your AQI on your phone if its bad and take precautions. It's a bit like weather some days are bad and some are not. I actually feel it is better here in Beijing than when I lived in Nanjing last year. We also have an air filter in our house which keeps the air clean.

Hi that's awesome that you are coming to Beijing. What time of year are you coming? Unfortunately, I think the Forbidden City tickets that you get in advance need to be booked by a Chinese person. When you come to China your hotel should be able to book these for you. You don't need to get a ticket in advance for Jingshan park I believe. They are called Baozza they are a brand from Shanghai that make them and they are amazing. You can also by these frozen from some places. Didi only works with the internet you are right.

It really depends on where you are from originally to compare it to. I am from the UK and it is far cheaper in comparison only the rent is more expensive but if I lived in London then Beijing would be cheaper for rent. I also share with my boyfriend so rent/bills/food etc would essentially be half as we share. We are still able to save money but we also have two incomes coming in which makes it easier. I know lots of people who don't live with a partner though in shared housing which are saving just fine. It also depends on what sort of social life you have. If you only eat western food and drink craft beer then chances are you wouldn't save much.

I think especially in Beijing and Shanghai rent is really pricy and if you go to a Western place it's pricy but local places and everyday living costs are generally cheaper.
