Cost of Living in Hangzhou

@WingZA

FYA you are asking this question during CNY. That is Chinese New Year. Everything is shut down. Everyone has gone home, and all factories, schools, and just about everything is shut down. China is a ghost town. No one is going to answer your queries. They are too busy eating and drinking and playing at the various KTV's.

Now, that things are starting to get back to normal, things are easing up.

FYI. Your costs will depend on your expenses, which in turn will depend on your lifestyle. If you like cheese, Starbucks Coffee, and Western style meals it could get to be expensive. I would suggest you go native, and try to blend in with the culture.

You will need to study a little about China first. This is 2018, it is the Year of the Dog. I would suggest you start there and look up you, your husbands, and children's Bazi. Then search for an apartment using the basic fengshui guidelines. A dog year can be great... if you are prepared.

You guys are off to experience a new adventure. Congratulations. But realize that the culture will be quite different from what you are accustomed to. Be open and accepting and you will do just fine.
