"Living in China as an expat or digital nomad can be incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. It is a country with a rich culture and countless attractions, has a diverse and vibrant nightlife, and offers opportunities to explore everything from bustling cities to tranquil countryside. While much of Chinese culture may be unfamiliar to foreigners, many expats find that they quickly adapt to the language, cuisine, and lifestyle. The cost of living in many cities is relatively low, and expats may find it relatively easy to find short-term and long-term accommodation. The mobile internet is often reliable, and high-speed internet access is now available in many cities. Additionally, business visas for digital nomads have significantly simplified the process for those wishing to work remotely in the country," said another expat in China.
