| Post subject: | Cost of living in China |
A lot of people outside China ask me about the cost of living here, so it might be helpful to people considering moving here to know more about everyday costs. I'll post a few prices here and keep the thread running. All the prices are for products bought in Tianjin unless otherwise stated. Some are in small stores, some in supermarkets, so there might be various prices for the same items. Feel free to add requests or post prices on other items and from other places in China. |
