What other cities besides Shanghai would you recommend for the same feel? Like say Chengdu.
Shanghai's also quite expensive too...
There was a saying a while ago about "If you want to feel history, visit Beijing/Xi'An. To feel modernity, visit Shanghai. To experience the future, visit Shenzhen."
Haven't been to them but if you enjoy spicy food you should have a decent time in Sichuan. Hunan (Chairman Mao's birthplace) might also be worth a visit.
I know its expensive to move to most major cities in China. I'm planning ahead for the future where if Amerikkka becomes too far-gone to become socialist, I'm thinking of moving my family and I to China to escape political and racial persecution.
I'm not Chinese, and I know its a long shot, but I have nothing to lose.
Start learning the language now, find a local class if you can, get your family learning, the earlier you start the better, Chinese is difficult and will help you immensely if you are genuinely planning to go, i know people who gwt passed over for jobs regularly in China because they're only visitor level speakers.
Also if you're well paid where you live now and have a lot of saving, tier 2 cities will be great price range for you. Also keep your eye in northeastern cities, they are on the up swing and tons of money is being dumped into them right for economic and social rehabilitation so when you are ready to move they may be perfect choices.
I'm not in a great financial situation but not absolutely terrible either. Mind if I pm you?
Go for it!
