"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Ningbo is the language barrier. Even though English is officially recognized as a foreign language, not many people can speak it fluently. Another challenge is accessing the internet, which is heavily censored and certain websites are blocked. Additionally, the health care system in China is not at the same level as other developed countries, and medical care may not be affordable for retirees. Furthermore, the cost of living in Ningbo is also relatively high compared to other parts of China, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable lifestyle within one's retirement budget," remarked another expat in Ningbo, China, China.
