What do I need to know before retiring in Guangzhou?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Guangzhou, they said...

"When considering retiring in Guangzhou, expats should be aware of the cost of living, and what type of visa is required to stay in the country long-term. Additionally, expats should be aware of the language barrier and find out if there are any language courses or help available. It is also important to research the healthcare system in the city and have some understanding of the government systems and processes, such as taxation. Expats are encouraged to learn the local customs, culture and way of life in order to make the relocation easier. Last but not least, it is recommended to locate nearby expat communities and social networks in order to make the most out of their new experience," said another expat in Guangzhou, China, China.

"Be careful and try to make friends. Use Patience at all all times and do not have a temper," wrote a member who made the move to Guangzhou, China.
