How much it cost to live in China’s top cities 

How does this channel not have more subscribers? Very well presented, articulate, and well-edited content.

I have just come to Perth Australia after 5 weeks in China most of that time in Guangzhou, we ate Lot cheaper than you and did in our apartment sometimes but always had lunch out, we tried many different restaurants lol. This time I wanted to stay longer as we really enjoyed just chilling out and looking around Guangzhou, we did take a few hispeed train trips and thought how nice it would be if there was some in Australia😊

Big improvement in video content/quality. It gave a good micro economic view that most other youtuber lack.

Very good quality video production. I liked the use of a map and great information.

Hi Cinthia! Thank you for sharing your perspective. It is always difficult to compare standards and costs. I think in general there are economic benefits to living in cities with the masses which help those wanting to save. For myself, along with income, I want to know how much free time I have and what can I do with it? One can always make more money, but one can never make more time.

Excellent breakdown of living costs in major urban city. Quality of video and content superb

super helpful , and in details my respect to your channel good luck.

Thanks for sharing, Cinthia, I enjoyed seeing China as you see it. It gives me a real sense of the country and the people. I also appreciate you sharing a bit of your personal life. You seem like someone who would be a good friend. 😊

I did the math, I think you spent ¥16000(including social and medical) in August

Nice overall view of living in an urban city in China and the costs - thanks for sharing!

Welcome to China. Explore Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou and you'll have a sense of fulfillment, build great memories and unforgettable experiences. Not to mention food and culture, so unique. ENJOY YOURSELF

Thank you for the information Cinthia

Superb content ❤

Marvellous. Thank you the lady who is from Guangzhou.

thank you for the video, its very informative. I was born and raised in Guangzhou China. I emigrated to Australia when I was 16 and I been here ever since.

Thank you. Great information and presentation. I left Guangdong about 20 years ago. Your English, though not perfect, is very good (just minor grammar errors). It would be helpful for me if you have both English and Chinese subtitle for the key words. 关键词有中英文字幕就更好了。 谢谢。

Here in Canada we are facing something similar with medical care even though it is supported by taxpayers. We too have an aging population, lack of family doctors, long waiting time for treatment and rural-urban disparity of medical care.

great content I like this style 感谢！

great video

1. Are you still into investing. 2.The premium grocery stores. You should mention them as well. Skipped too fast. 3. And good districts in Shenzhen. To live.

Hello Cinthia, thank you very much for sharing your perspectives on costing of living. If I may ask about the law of purchasing and owning property in China for retirement? I am looking forward to receiving your reply soon. Sincerely, Sar Kong.

I live in China and I needed an honest and trustable source of information to better understand the culture and reality of the country I am starting to love

It should be noted that in China you don't pay property tax and a lot of people won't pay or pay low income taxes comparing to their real income (not like in the USA). Roughly you can treat 1 USD as 3-4 Chinese RMB when comparing the actual purchasing power/price (against the official 1 USD = roughly 7.2 RMB conversion rate). In China, the one major cost item is housing/apartment if you don't have one yet (so if you are a local and you already own an apartment, literally you can live an good/OK to comfortable life with almost any income level because you don't pay property tax and the other living costs are usually low such as public transportation, food, clothing, etc).

That fish looks delicious! I'll buy some with you!

I am coming to your city next month to CANTON FAIR. Nice CITY!!!!

What a lovely girl ❤ just subscribed

Awesome video. China is a great place to live.

Cute 🐶 and thanks.

I am now thinking of moving to China after my retirement here in Seoul, Korea. This is very helpful for me.

Great info. Someone earning the minimum wage of $350 or so could actually live okay as long as they don't go overboard with expenditure. What about the credit system though. Its particularly crucial for a consumption based economy after all

The disparity of development between different areas in China is huge,like different countries...

hello sister im from morocco and i want to study in china . what is the easiest way to learn mandarin. and thank you for your great content.

China has the best hostels in Asia, very affordable options with very nice ambiance. Are things much cheaper now?

BTW is the ribeye meal is cheaper than a big Mac wouldnt it be better to each a ribeye meal? What is the % tax in China? The salary in stated is after tax right? I want to live in China and I need some advise. Is Gyangzhou a good place to live? How easy it is to go to Hong Kong (price and travel time)? Sorry I have a lot of questions.

Hi Cinthia, the informations you shared with us, they’re very important for me, I planned to live in Guangzhou after my retirement, greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Can you show me how to open a bank account and use the wechat to pay don't do that here in Texas USA😊

As a Chinese American ( none ABC), am I able to get a job legally in Gz?

My sister interested in retiring in GZ. What’s the rental price or apartment (to buy) price for location with restaurants and grocery within 300m, close to a tier 3 hospital, close to easy transport to Hong Kong? She is a bit overweight with health issues. One bedroom is ok but has to have bathtub and western toilet. (I know she’s asking for a lot). Thanks!

好可爱☺️

Hi Cinthia, very nice explanatory statuses, like the seriosity how you are treated all the things, either love your dogs. 💖 I would like to ask you some questions, there is an email to send it? Sincerely regards, Alex! ✌🙏

I will come soon ,

Thanks for the information. Does the 2-bedroom apartment in the video have an AC? That is incredibly cheap regardless. Can I live in GZ only speaking Cantonese? I was originally from HK but have lived in the US for most of my life. That's some fancy "fresh food" for the dogs.

In the old days of central planning, statistics were faked and unreliable and bureaucrats and party cadres wanted to make things look better than they were, to meet unrealistic quotas, to impress superiors and the rose coloured glasses syndrome. China has transitioned to a market economy but today statistics are affected by lack of good data, lack of transparency and the incentive for corruption that they nurture. Getting from what we see today to a point where they reflect reality, are accurate and free from considerations driven by political expediency and unethical conduct, is still a challenge for China.

What do you mean disposable income? Is that the net income per year or the money that you can spend after paying all of your mortgage?

I thought that yummy fresh food was for you but it's for your dog. 🤣 Are those white furry things, rabbit legs? How many dogs do you have and is that cost for 1 dog or more? Great videos, by the way.

things that surprised me: - $121 for 2BR is insaneeee... 1/15th of what I pay in Honolulu, HI, and my place is not even 1BR. face-pink-tears Just a studio. - your monthly skincare regiment is 2x your rent lol

😮

You look so great even without make up on your daily routine video

Can you leave The prices on a little longer? Thx😊

Are cars expensive in China as with other Asian countries such as Thailand?

请问小姐姐口红什么色号的？

Hi Cinthia, excellent job explaining the cost of living in major cities in China. I wish well for all the Chinese people. They're indeed very hard-working.

Cynthia, you are a beautiful woman❤❤❤

how comes such a big disparity in private sector and non-private sector?

I want to visit guangzhou for a month business trip but i wish to get a place for a rent of 250 usd

$2 for 6 oysters WOW ! The dream! 😁

Which country are you from？

Wow u speak Cantonese 😮

your cantonese is pretty good lol

lowering the employee to pay taxes hmmm.. just like in indonesia lol

oh, you're a fellow cantonese

Unfortunately I watched this clip during empty stomach which eventually make me hungry a lot for any delicious food now. 😊 That's not good for maintain slim body at all. 😂

I wonder what the homeless population is like?

the bokeh are so bad, buy a better real camera

i found out you could speak Cantonese. Haha

Now, whatever you said will not be true in 2026..even in 2024 a big disastrous change is inevitable.....All will change drastically in the New world...all over the world....

Give figures! otherwise nonsense. I only survive with £200.00GBP per month all inclusive in the UK. Beat that!

looking wifeable🤤

Is that your real face? It looks so fake lmao.

How can i get a wife like you ?
