Digital Nomad Life in China

By Joshua Wood, LPC

Summary: China is a popular destination for digital nomads. The most popular cities for digital nomads in China are Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Digital nomads like living in China because of its low cost of living, vibrant culture, and access to a large market. A digital nomad can live on a monthly budget of around $1,000 in China. The culture of China is diverse and complex. It is a mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern influences from around the world. Chinese culture is heavily influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Chinese culture is also known for its emphasis on family values, respect for elders, and the importance of education.

How do I meet people in China?

When we asked people living in China about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

""That's PRD" magazine has a quality list of organizations and community events for each month and is well worth getting. Community events with the American Chamber of Commerce as well as Summer camp for the kids at the Utahloy International Summer Camp in Zeng Cheng (www.utahloy.com) helped our family meet many other expat families in the area," commented a person living in Guangzhou, China.

"Go out, meet people, ask questions or become a member of the Wanderverein Zhuhai (BTW its free and fun). Contacts you can find under http://www.wvzh.com," explained one digital nomad living in Zhuhai, China.
