"Expatriates in Ningbo may find it challenging to navigate the local culture due to the language barrier and different customs. The city's dense population can also overwhelm newcomers, and understanding the local etiquette can be difficult. Understanding and adapting to the public transportation system can also be daunting for foreigners, as many residents rarely speak English and the signage can be incomprehensible. Additionally, the unique cuisine of Ningbo can take some getting used to for those hailing from more western countries," commented one expat who made the move to Ningbo, China, China.
