Cultural Differences with Switzerland
Due to the immense cultural differences to Switzerland, China is often a real cultural shock for Westerners, especially in the beginning. This settles down after some time and the friendly Chinese people will help you to integrate into society. As China is a hotspot for talented people from all over the world, there are many expat communities throughout the country. You will find many people from German-speaking countries, which will help you to adapt as quickly as possible to your new environment in the People’s Republic of China.
Cost of Living
As for the cost of living in China, you will quickly notice that you will probably enjoy a higher standard of living in the People’s Republic than you did in Switzerland. This is because the majority of the population still lives in relatively modest circumstances, which is reflected in everyday prices. However, as expats in China are paid Western-style salaries, you will be pleased to know that you will most likely enjoy a very comfortable and prosperous life here after your move.
Expats in China
Every year China becomes the new home for many people from all over the world. Most of them emigrate to the People’s Republic for professional reasons. This is especially true for teachers, but also for other well-educated people in other areas, such as economic or technical professions. China is a great country to live in as an expat and is always seeking skilled workers.
However, in order for you to get along well in China, it is definitely necessary to learn Mandarin, as it will greatly facilitate your life, in all areas, when moving to the People’s Republic. This is partly because although English is spoken by better educated Chinese people, this is not the case when it comes to the rest of the population. This is one of the reasons why you will find many English teaching career opportunities.
So before you move to China, you should definitely have at least a basic knowledge of Mandarin, otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to integrate into China. Moreover, the language in the Middle Kingdom will not be the only hurdle for you to overcome…

Where do expats go?
When it comes to which cities are particularly popular with expats in China, it can be said that Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Chengdu are the most popular destinations in the Middle Kingdom. China is such a vast country and offers so much diversity of choice for expats that each city attracts people for different reasons.
