Mom's Apartment Tour in China || 妈妈的公寓之旅

[@stephentshang1918]

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.

kunming is a good good choice.

[@OleasterErwin-ph5pn]

cannot wait to see your brother come to China. family reunion...

[@MightySteve001]

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.

[@donaldlai6551]

你要一台100吋的電視機都只不過是多四五百磅左右就可以🎉🎉🎉

[@ongsengkee2530]

If you can afford a monthly rental of £476, then you should easily get a 100" tv.

Wow! The rent for your mum’s spacious apartment in a lovely area is only ¥2,600 (£280) a month?!! That’s amazing value! It seems she has made herself a home there too!! But then accommodation in China is really affordable. I was in Chongqing a week ago. My hotel is in the middle of the tourist hub and the cost for 4 nights was cheaper than my stay for 1 night at a Hong Kong airport hotel!!

[@georwoogle]

Wow! The apartment looks spacious and comfortable with beautiful community environment. I am glad that your brother is going to be with you for the holiday season. Wish you all a happy holiday!

[@YoonJintae98]

so jealous such a beautiful boutique place your mother has! Hi Lizzy, could you do a general breakdown in terms of cost of living in China. like utilities, internet, phone data, grocery, transportation etc. Thank you!!

[@zhidongchen8759]

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。

[@YoonJintae98]

@zhidongchen8759 thank you for the much needed details, I really appreciate it. It seems the meat is on the pricy side but the overall cost of living is very sustainable :) One day I would love to check out life in China. Thank you again Mr Chen👍

[@zhidongchen8759]

@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。

[@YoonJintae98]

@zhidongchen8759 thank you! Your insight is very valuable and would be good to keep all that in mind. And to add salt to the wound we are still having a bit of strike with our healthcare in Korea😭stay warm and happy new year Mr Chen

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.

How far are you guys from Shanghai or Beijing? Guangzhou. Is another place I’ve been. Nigbo etc

[@TANAndy-cg9sn]

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.

[@warmbreeze43]

@ 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]

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.

[@warmbreeze43]

@ 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💕
