What do I need to know before moving to Ningbo?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ningbo, they said:

"Before moving to Ningbo, expats should research the neighborhoods carefully to determine the best place to live. It is important to understand the local climate and the availability of certain amenities, such as restaurants, transportation, and medical facilities. Additionally, becoming familiar with Chinese culture and customs, as well as learning a few phrases in Mandarin, can help facilitate integration into this new city. Expats should also check whether their home nation has a consulate or embassy in Ningbo, as it may provide helpful guidance or assistance. Furthermore, expats should make sure to bring any necessary paperwork and familiarize themselves with Chinese business and immigration laws when settling into the city. Finally, having an understanding of Chinese money and payment methods will help to ensure an easy transition," replied a member in Ningbo, China.
