An honest look at Apartments in China 🇨🇳 

I was like "For $600 that's a decent apartment" Then I noticed there is a whole other floor that comes with it.

Personal preference is the first apartment. The walk in wardrobe sets it apart from the second. Rental rates are very affordable compared to Singapore or Hong Kong.

Sabrina, you’re the reason why I’m leaving Atlanta and going to China to study mandarin for a bachelor’s. That vid you made about coping really hit me hard. I’ve never noticed how on guard I am. Thanks 🙏🏾

Wow here in Toronto Canada that apartment would be $3,000 per month!

It is actually so insane how much more you get for your money in China. In the US $600 doesn't even get you a decent studio apartment in most places 😭 forget a balcony, you will be lucky if you can fit a queen bed and a small couch 🥲

Nice I ll be moving to 🇨🇳 soon

The first duplex flat has more space and feels luxurious. It's amazing being in the garden with swimming pool and children's playground. Definitely very attractive for families!

Didn't know rent in HangZhou is that cheap. It's very beautiful city. I definitely take the first apartment. The layout and views are better.

I think the first apartment is a pretty decent apartment. Could definitely make it feel homey. I prefer the layout to the second one. Would be nice if the balcony extended to the living room.

In Portugal you will be lucky if you get an old 1 room apartment in a small town or just a room in Lisbon for 600$. Such apartments would cost at least 4-5 times more here. And the infrastructure is 40 years old in comparison to China. CPC is doing amazing job for Chinese people!

I like the first one. View is out of this world. Not only it’s so open, I can see Mountain View far away.

I'm living in shanghai and it costs me 7000 rmb as the rent per month. The apt was build in 1970s and very small, but its location is good.

The first apartment is my favorite, I like the two decent bathrooms with showers, the full glass wall views from the living room and 🎉THE POOL🎉 is wonderful on those hot summer evenings.

I am in Hong Kong right now and I gather that an apartment the size of the first apartment would easily coat 3 times the asking price!

First one is better because second one is on a lower floor and the construction can be noisy and dusty. One concern with the first one is kitchen opposite bathroom, not good feng shui, fire facing water. Conflicts in household and possible stomach issues. Way to alleviate is to hang a long curtain on the bathroom door to block it.

Congratulations to your new apartment Ma’am 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🥇🥇🥇

Wow canada, us and uk can't even compare, I was like wow this is nice for $600 until I saw the upper floor 🤯🤯🤯, I shouted I almost couldn't believe it, if not for the fact that I've been watching your videos and I admire your effort to exposing us to the truth about China and life in general, I almost would not believe it because what the heck, here in Canada we would be like 4 in this apartment and still pay $1,600 each I really want to leave this canada for china, I've heard from a lot of people that life in china is way better, well having said this, i prefer the 1st apartment

I'll probably pick the first one because the second one has the construction site next door. I prefer quiet place over construction noise.

希望你在中国生活愉快，工作顺利！欢迎你

A two bedroom apartment in San Francisco Bay area (USA) would run around $2.800 per month...$600 is very reasonable.

Wow, the rent is sooooo cheap for such a large 3 bedroom apartment! I could only imagine that it will cost a whole lot more in Beijing or Shanghai.

5000 is very expensive! The agent ripped you off! It just a loft apartment.Beside, in Canton it rents around 1500/month.

Hangzhou is a city known as nearly expensive as Shanghai , 600 is not bad , some capital city of provinces like Changsha even Chongqing still have 300 dollars apartments

That's a lot of space for 600 USD...clean, quiet, modern...I have never been to Hangzhou but did spend a whole week in Shenyang in NE China and had a great time...but the air pollution was terrible the week I was there...but outside the city the air was clear and nice...that was in Sept of 2012...thanks for sharing your video...

Hangzhou is a pretty expensive city by Chinese standards. I think both apartments are too big for one person, you certainly don't need 3 bedrooms. Unless you have somebody to share it with you, of course.

I love it. the first one for sure.

I’m amazed how these other countries never use and don’t even know what a dryer is.

Apartment prices in China are amazing. Pay around 2000 RMB for something nice

One of the first things I'd check would be whether walls which separate the rooms were real walls, meaning; if they're solid brick/concrete or lame ass plywood. So many new "luxury" properties here in the US don't have real walls, therefore they suck in terms of noise insulation.

I love it. I want to be near Guangzhou tho idk where exactly this is

Nice apartments. I wish I can get something that nice with that prices in the states.

This apartment would be 10x the price if I rented it here in Seattle. Makes me want to move

First one seemed to be bigger and nicer 😊

The first one is better than the 2nd one😊

The second one is obviously much better and the layout is more reasonable.

Omg this is gorgeous! Here in Colorado this would be 2,500 a month as a conservative estimate

Great video's... thank you for putting a smile on my dial 😀

New subscriber, great video! Love your voice! Cheers from East Los Angeles! 🎉

I love the first apartment

Both feel too big for one person. Both are nice, couldn't decide

The second apartment is the one that i want to live in

Nice, you can find a good apartment ilke this in US for just 500 dollars a month too 😳

I would definitely live in this apartment, any of the two, thanks for making the video😂

If you live alone, there is absolutely no need to rent such a big house. 5,000 RMB is too exaggerated. If you use the app of renting a house in China, you can find a good house in Hangzhou for 1,500-3,000 RMB.

In fact, it is not very cheap for Chinese, but it is very cheap for foreigners, and the salary of foreigners in China is generally higher than that of Chinese, sometimes even two to three times

1，住得高视线好 2，没有噪音 选第一套

Nice views

1st apartment is my favourite ❤❤❤

Such a cool video!

5000rnb or $700 seems really high when comparing it to Hangzhou's gdp per capita of roughly $15k, so you pay $8,400 of your income annually, so more than half of your income goes towards housing.

The conversion is a bit off, 5000 RMB is over 700 USD

i think first one is more suitable for you

Sabrina 前面是绿汀路地铁站，这应该是紫樾府喽

I am planning to move to china very soon

Does the $5,000 rmb rent include maintenance fee, gas and electric? If not how much the monthly cost for electric, gas, TV/internet service, maintenance fee? Do the furniture, bedding include in the rend?

The 2nd apartment is better than the 1st one

Wow❤❤❤

Small kitchen? It's more than large enough.

Woow

❤❤

Hangzhou has the population of LA but for this apartment in LA you have to pay more than 5k per month for this in LA if not more than 10k😂 and you can't even walk in the city

I kinda like the 1st one tho

找房子最好找房东签约合同，而不是找中介，中介费用高，还收中介费

Does that include mowing the grass? haha love it

NICE🎉

if the 2nd unit is also $600, then it is a better choice 🎉

That’s really good and yes I’d live there What’s that in English sterling plz £?

600 a month? Or 600 a week. If that was my country, it would be 800 a week at least

Yo these apartments are so nice. This was in Hangzhou? Why so cheap? How far from city center?

Freakin penthouse like sis

That size probably 3k a month in America!!😂

这个价格很好了。杭州的房租很贵。

Wtf kitchen on entrance and opposite to kitchen is bathroom 😂

Is the rent paid monthly? Or do you make payment for a year?

First apt better.

Most definitely, I wish I could move in now!! At $600 U.S dollars is SUPER!! Can you please send me the apartment One and Two info. City location, address, phone number and name of them..? Appreciate it, thanks for sharing!!

600 USD is cheap for foreigners, but expensive for local. Usually my people their salaries are only around 3000 to 6000 yuan a month, 5000 yuan which is 600 USD just for renting is pretty expensive for us... 😢

Much nicer than Taiwan

You are beautiful, but we didn't see you in this video.😢

Only 5000😂 that's half of my monthly salary gone

How about Chicago? Is Chicago better than Hangzhou

love your apt❤

The appartment is nice and clean and had come furnished (all of which is great) but there are downsides imho: 1. I am no expert on real estate prices in Hangzhou, but I would say the appartment is overpriced considering local average salary 2. Washing machine on the balcony? Wtf? Why? 3. The appartment is rather small.. Does it really have to be divided in two floors? Makes no sense to me. Appartments like this should fit on a single floor imho.

in hangzhou the rent is high ,while other cities the price will be much cheaper

an apartment like this would be 1800$ a month here in ottawa canada....
