What do I need to know before retiring in Shanghai?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Shanghai, they said...
"Before retiring in Shanghai, expats should familiarize themselves with the city and its culture. They should research the cost of living, rent, and medical insurance. Additionally, expats should be aware of the visa requirements for long-term stays in China. It is also important to be aware of the language barrier and have access to some form of interpretation (whether through technology or a translator) for smooth communication.
