What is it like to retire in Xi'an?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Xi'an. They said...

"Yes to all of the above, although at my age i will not be frequenting the night clubs here too often. My wife did attend one very exclusive one with my Chinese step-son and his friends and other family members. Very exciting and much cheaper than most American clubs or ordinary bars for that matter. We spent ab. $80 U.S. on 8 of us and had a great time. very safe with helmeted guards, pat downs and metal detectors. 12 guards inside and out and a very posh setting. Travel is cheap either by bus .15 or taxi ab. .80 depending on how far and if you have a Chinese friend to negotiate price-for taxi that is-bus will be same price for all. TerraCotta Army nearby. One big savings, don't hire a translator as every sign inside is in English and Chinese. Bring your own water and snack as most of the kiosks are overpriced but still cheap by U.S. standards," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Xi'an, China.

"Retirees in and around the city of Xi'an in China can enjoy a high quality of life. The city is filled with a vibrant expat community, as well as a wealth of cultural attractions. From Shaanxi History Museum to Small Goose Pagoda, visitors can explore the history and culture of the region. There are also many parks and outdoor recreation opportunities, from night markets to city tours. For those looking to enjoy some nightlife, Xi'an has plenty of bars, pubs, and cafes to explore. With its stunning architecture, great food, and friendly locals, Xi'an is a great place for retirees to enjoy their golden years," commented one expat who made the move to Xi'an, China, China.
