Moving to Shanghai | Emigrating to Shanghai
Shanghai is one of the largest and most important cities in China and is truly an international city. The mix of Chinese culture, modern technology and Western influence makes Shanghai an experience in itself. The city is extremely popular with expats for many reasons: such as the extensive leisure facilities, the high level of security and the modest prices, especially for locally made goods. Shanghai has something for everyone and it is no wonder why so many people make this Chinese metropolis their new home.

Real estate in Shanghai
Those who move to Shanghai will find a wide variety of real estate, ranging from small apartment buildings to large condominiums, from townhouses to mansions. The city can accommodate nearly anyone’s wishes and so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find suitable accommodation. Furthermore, real estate in Shanghai is usually already furnished which is usually particularly appreciated by expats.
However, a drawback is the relatively high rental and purchase prices of real estate, which has increased significantly in recent years. As a result, expats wanting to move to Shanghai should be aware of the average prices.
On the other hand, if you are in Shanghai due to a job posting, it is usually the case that the company pays for the accommodation, which is a significant benefit.

Lifestyle in Shanghai
Generally speaking, there are a lot of job opportunities in Shanghai, public transportation is cheap and it is generally an exciting place to live. But, be prepared to experience extreme temperatures, as it can be hot in the city for large parts of the year. Also, traffic can be intense, especially during the rush hour.
Language
In principle, expats should definitely learn Mandarin, as it is the official language of China. Having appropriate skills in the language is the best way to communicate with the locals. Although English is relatively common in the city, it is not the main language of communication. Being able to speak Mandarin will significantly improve the career options of expats.
