An Expat Talks about Living in Shanghai, China, China

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Shanghai, China

If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.

Before retiring in Shanghai, expats should familiarize themselves with the city and its culture. They should research the cost of living, rent, and medical insurance. Additionally, expats should be aware of the visa requirements for long-term stays in China. It is also important to be aware of the language barrier and have access to some form of interpretation (whether through technology or a translator) for smooth communication. Finally, expats should consider joining a local expat community and getting to know their neighbors to help them adjust to their new life.
