- What can $300 a month get you in China? What kind of apartment can you rent for that price? Let's take a tour of my Chinese apartment and find out. We've rented this apartment here in China for $300 a month, which when compared to similar apartments in Beijing or Shanghai is a really good deal.
Hope this video can guide you on renting apartments in China. How does it compare to your rent currently?

I was really lucky to have the opportunity to live in Shenzhen for about 7 years. Oh yes, I bought all of my appliances through Taobao, fridge, washing machine, TV, toaster, microwave oven, etc...they were all cheaper than in the stores and came with free delivery to my doorstep. Life was really good....😅 Hopefully, I can visit my friends end of this year.
Thanks for sharing! Yessss the to the door delivery is so nice 😂
China in Deflation
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January 2024 fell by 0.8% year-on-year, a decline much larger than expected. This marks the fourth consecutive month of year-on-year decline and the largest monthly decline since 2009.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) also experienced a year-on-year decrease as businesses further lowered factory prices in search of buyers for their products. PPI has seen monthly declines throughout last year (2023).
There's a saying in economics that if inflation is likened to a severe cold, then deflation is akin to cancer. This illustrates the severity of deflation.
China's economy has entered a deflationary phase, which inflicts far greater damage than inflation. When things were supposed to get more expensive, they are now being discounted. If everything is discounted, who will make purchases? With reduced purchasing, the economy naturally contracts. As the economy contracts, layoffs follow, leading to people losing their incomes. Without income, there's no consumption, leading to a backlog of products, further exacerbating deflation. Thus, a vicious cycle ensues.
Over the past six months, housing prices have been declining, car prices are down, and even pork prices have been lingering at low levels.
To put it simply, deflation means people hoard money in banks because of fears about future uncertainty, thus refraining from spending. According to data from the People's Bank of China, in 2022, total renminbi deposits increased by 26.26 trillion yuan for the whole year, a year-on-year increase of 6.59 trillion yuan, with household deposits increasing by 17.84 trillion yuan. On July 11, 2023, the central bank released financial statistics for the first half of 2023, reporting that by the end of June, renminbi deposits totaled 278.62 trillion yuan, an 11% increase compared to the previous year. This indicates that people's inclination to save is far greater than their inclination to consume.
@@lizzyinchina Does Taobao still have the free delivery of grocery with a minimum order of RMB88? I used to buy all kinds of heavy items like sauces, cooking oil, rice, etc with free delivery...😅 had only visited the supermarket if I were to buy any fresh items.

I'm in Qingdao. I pay 1250 RMB per month for a 120-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two toilets
you maybe live in outskirt area of Qingdao. the rent is around 4000 to 7000 RMB per month in city center with the size of 3 bedrooms.

忙著找尋西方面孔來感動自己的中國人，可悲啊，性商體商神經索下半截進化失敗了，對西方面孔有種強烈的外表肌肉生殖器膜拜情結。中國是個偉大的文明，可惜就是不尊重生物界智商進化階梯金字塔結構標準，不維護種群分化優勝劣汰程序性法則，什麼進化失敗的種群，只要“會做人”就當人，結果不僅導致智商情商神經索上半截進化失敗的種群細菌般繁殖，也導致性商體商神經索下半截進化失敗的種群細菌般繁殖。
A rent of 2200 RMB a month for a 2-bedroom apartment is amazingly cheap! My daughter and her husband lived in 2-bed house Richmond London until recently. They paid £2,000 a month in rent!!
@@aldridge98863000？最低工資了吧。。。不是所有人都從事最低薪水的工作，不然那些月租8000的房子租給誰？！
Oh wow! I will stay in China thank you 😂😂
@aldridge9886 即便是这样，每一个中国人或多或少都有自己的房子，只是因为去别的城市工作需要租房住，无论如何都不会因为负担不起房产税和房租而流落街头。
@@aldridge9886 昆明平均工资每月7700元。上海平均工资每月17500元。3000至4000人民币是几乎是所有中国城市最低的工资而不是平均工资。现在的厂妹都不值这个工资，上海小饭店刷盘子招工人都4500起步，人均工资和人均收入你分的清？人均收入是包含14亿人的。人均工资只包含工作人口。
@@aldridge9886 I visited Nanning this spring festive, and talked with Didi drivers and delivery guys quite often, the Uber drivers earn 9K to 12K per month, delivery guys 7K to 10K per month. Generally speaking , Kunming is better than Nanning in economy development. Have you ever spoken with the locals in Kunming?
That's quite the apartment! So large for only $300/mo.
Beautiful view for sure.
在有的城市 甚至只需要150-200美元
@@user-rr2ke1pp6p 这样的公寓很多县城可能仅仅需要100美元，中国太大了，便宜的地方很多，但收入相对也低

300 dollars for the rent is a dream in NYC. This apt looks like two to three thousand dollars in NYC.
美国赚钱中国花
这套公寓已经算贵的了，只有比较繁华的城市中心才这个价格，一般偏一点的地方就种也就1200到1800人民币吧
My son lived in NYC back in 2014 in a tiny unfurnished studio of less than 300 square feet for $1800 per month. He had to pay at least another one month rent to brokers. Don’t know how much the rent would be now for the same studio. His monthly income after tax was a little more than 3k. So after rent, transportation, cellphone, internet, cable, he was pretty much living paycheck to paycheck.
@@edwardyuan8116yeah true, but people in NYC make over $2000 on the average , compare to small city in Yunnan where average salary is just about $300-500/month.

God we told so much garbage about china in the west! Its great to hear from someone that is living there and was originally from a "western" country thanks for opening up your life to us 🙏
Really nice apartment 😍
Thank you!! 😊
Here in Hong Kong, Rmb2200 can only rent half a parking space. Rent for this kind of flat may cost Hk$22 000, which is around 20 000Rmb.
昆明属于省会城市了，在县城或者三四线城市这样的房子月租金也就1000出头。
我在河北一个县城，比这个大，装修比这个好，一个月833人民币（一年一万，水电费一个月加一起50左右）
Maybe even more, depending on the area.
Great of you Lizzy to show us how inexpensive it is to live in China.
So So different from the US, the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, N.Z, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I think the Chinese and Japanese are incredibly smart for being able to house large amounts of people in comfortable and safe apartments.
Very nice apt. It indeed makes life more enjoyable. Lizzy. "The secret of life is to enjoy The pasding of time" Cheers!!!
Kunming, a Chinese city where it’s like spring all year round. I envy you, Lizzy. Wishing you all the best and a happy life in China!
u love china first u need to love communism!
Thank you for sharing your experiences living in China.
What a smart lady this is, good on you. I am waiting for the opportunity once im free to move to China as soon as i can.
Hi,Lizzy....Thanks for showing your lovely apartment,$300 per month is a dream with beautiful views! also China is Great country to live, I did watch most of your videos for 1 year i did enjoy your interesting video's! if i had to move to another country, China would be great choice for many reason! there are lovely people and friendly also in Australia Chinese people are friendly as well...Thank you for sharing your video...
Yes! China has actual concentration camps and forced labor for Muslim minorities and boasts the highest capital punishment of any country in the world! And scores in the lowest percentile for human rights! And low rent! What a great place to live!
Would never live in China !!!!!
China is Cheap, Safe and Awesome all rolled into one..
Only safe if you stay on the good side of the ruling party.
Then again Canada were i live is getting to be more and more like China.

Interesting and informative room tour, good job. Actually in China some apartments or condos do have bathrooms with shower area and toilet seperated, we call it 干湿分离（dry area and wet area seperated).
Very Nice view from the balcony, the street are very green lots of tree surrounding the apartment blocks.
Beautiful apartment,Thank you for sharing
Lizzy, you really so nice and telling the truths of China, I really attracted by it and I have to get myself in as soon as possible. Keep on exploring and share with us.
It looks spacious for one person, and it has everything you need. I like the views from both of your balcony. $300!!!
What is a little different is that renters pay the condo association fees in China, but probably just around $40/month, in the USA that would be $300 alone
China has no property tax, so that does not need to be added to the rent.
Landlord's homeowner's insurance is a low $80/year, in U.S that would be $800/year, all that added up is why U.S/Canada rent is $2400/month for a 2bd condo
Awesome 🤩 thanks for sharing 👏👏👏greetings from Hong Kong 😁
I like how you make things easy and simple but lovely in your rented house. Honestly, there are so many things we have are common because we bought them from taobao too especially the shelves and floor mats. The only big difference in Singapore here is the rent which is 10x or more for a unit like yours. I'm happy that you got to find a good place to settle down at your young age, Lizzy. Enjoy your life~ !
Kunming is nice. You can take the new train to Laos if you want a short break. Comfortable and not expensive. About 7.5 hours to Luang Prabang from Kunming nan station.
👍🏿 Stunning 👍🏿
Thank you! 🤗
I like your nice apartment! Especially price for this!))
Thank you! 😃 glad you enjoyed the tour
Awesome and comfortable living !
If you buy a good quality coffee then black with no sugar is the best way to appreciate the flavor
Nice apartment, you are so lucky.
云南的紫外线比较强，出门的时候需要做好防晒。😃
Hi Lizzy, it looks that the rents have come down. In 2003 I was paying 800 USD per month plus the utility bill, plus sat TV in Shanghai Pudong, close to Century park. It was brand new and had 2 bedrooms, 2 spacious balconies, living room, dining room, and enormous kitchen ( I looked 3 months for that ) and a large bathroom with shower and washmachine. There was also a lift.
It was in walking distance of the new Maglev station in Pudong. There was also a carrefour, decathlon and a Brico center. So I am surprised that the rent is so low now. Good for you !
1, Lizzy is living in Kunming, Yunnan Province. And I believe she is not living in a very center area. The rent is much lower there than Pudong, Shanghai.
2, I think I know which compound you had lived in.😁 It costed about RMB 6000~7000 to rent a 3 bedroom apartment there in 2010. I guess the USD 800 you had paid in 2003 was a little bit higher than the normal market level because you are a foreigner or the apartment is bigger or had better condition than others.
云南省的价格和北京上海广州深圳杭州等不能比的。
上海是中国最发达也是物价最贵的城市之一，而Lizzy 居住的云南省属于风景如画气候宜人的相对落后省份，物价不能比的
@@guoweixu-fu6kj 我理解你，谢谢。
Rents in Shanghai and the immediate area have increased since 2003, it would be difficult to find that price these days, that's why I moved to a city 38 minutes away by high speed train and pay 2200 rmb a month for 3 beds and 2 baths.
Thanks for sharing.
what a life.....we are glad for you .....everything affordable,all the bills too...imagine in west,the bills kills everyone.....all the green below your apartments,china iis so neat an d clean.....your apartment is not small too...enjoy the good decent life lizy...god bless...from indonesia.....jason living in china recently visit jakarta too ,the capital of indonesia.....
Looks great. ❤
At least you don't feel the pain of inflation.
Thankfully 😅
Actually China has a deflation right now, comparing to the price hikes in the US
@@yuliu8875 From what I have read or heard , more precisely, I believe you are talking about deflation for real estate market. The GDP of China is at a pace of 5% growth for 2024, signaling a cherry outlook of the whole economy.
If you believe official figures... 😂😂😂
@@fdm2155 I believe IMF and other international organization's estimates. If they are the official figures you referred to, yes, I do trust they have no reason to fudge the figures at the price of their own reputation.
In Toronto Canada, that apartment would be at least $3000/month! It's huge! compared to the shoeboxes here close to the city centre.
在我的印象中 北美的房子大多都是木头结构的，隔音有点差。
Thats why we love communism
Hi Lizzy, you are very lucky to live in such a nice apartment. Maybe you can add a warning at the beginning of the video.
"Be careful when you live outside China. You might become very envious." 😅😂
I live in GZ CBD and I pay 6,400/month for a 97eqm 2 bedroom centrally located. I think it is fine so long as you can afford it. I also pay 5,500 for a maid that come clean and cook. Monthly expenses around Rmb20k.
Hi Lizzy! I also love black coffee!
I used to live near you, and I really enjoyed cycling around Dianchi Lake. The wetland parks there are very beautiful.
Although it's not a luxury apartment, it is cozy and comfortable. I like it a lot.
In sharp contrast, most Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck. It's getting more and more difficult to save money in the US, in other word, you'll never be able to retire, you have to work until you die.
*In sharp contrast*. Now show us the sharp contrast of average salaries in China compared to US.
@@FUZASHIII very hard to measure
@@FUZASHIII that means absolutely F all , when over 150 million Americans are struggling to feed themselves
@@Auzzzie82 every second American struggling to feed themselves? Are you talking about the obese ones ? 💀
@@FUZASHIII- there is little to no manufacturing in the US. Jobs went to China. For those who don’t have a technical job, most work in the service industry. With the cost of living in the US people are definitely struggling. Inflation is at a peak as well. Fuel for vehicles in the Midwest is on average $3.50-4.00/per gallon. Groceries are high, interest rates for homes are high. So it’s not just obese people. There are many struggling.
In Nigeria, we pay annually or bi-annually. Like you, I like this system because we don't have to worry about rent for at least a year once that has been sorted. Gives you peace of mind whenever there is an emergency because you know that no matter what, you have a place to call home.
I live in Singapore CBD. My room with a shared bathroom is close to RMB 8,000 a month!
Interesting TQ 🙏🏿
Geniet Lizzy! Sjina is lekker!
such a great price. in shenzhen i pay more for a small apartment, but shenzhen is so modern and i live the subway in shenzhen.
Thanks for sharing Lizzy.
Very nice apartment !!
Hi, Lizzy great video, can you talk about Medical services & what to expect in terms of any costs?
Hiii! Yeah so when I go to see the doctor, to make an appointment is like 20rmb, and maybe medicine or a drip! Even when I had food poisoning, all the tests and stuff I got never exceeded 100rmb! When I go for a full medical check once a year(like everything, blood, body scans everything) I pay 400rmb
印象中youtube上有一个南京的外国小伙子，记录了他去医院看病的经过。
My niece was 😮paying 1,299.00 for renting an apartment 1 bedroom and I think it was a lot of money. If you are happy there stay there I agree with you totally why would you live somewhere else. ❤
Quality and durability is very important watch out for that
Hi Lizzie, That’s a dream apartment for almost anywhere in the world, in terms of price, safety, availability of services and so on. Thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible to rent such an apartment short term? It’ll be nice to be able to spend a couple of months in Kunming and get to travel around Yunnan.
Hi Lizzy: Thank you for sharing your thoughts private space to us! Where do you first start looking for apartments? Real Estate agents? Would you share about health insurance? Can foreigners buy health insurance? How much will it cost per month? What are the coverages such hospital & doctor visits? Please kindly share this medical insurance information. Thank you!
Good on you to enjoy your life in China. The appreciation of what you found is so genuine. I agree, China is such a safe and friendly country, totally opposite to what the western media says about it. I am always asked by my friends, even family members whether I was followed or harrassed in China. I have never been harrassed in China but do not know whether I have ever been followed. But I have never felt uncomfortable travelling in China because I am just an ordinary individual unimportant to China or even my own country. So why should a big nation like China wastes its resources on me?! If I was China, I would not!
Where I live rent is more than 700euros and that's for "social" housing. Free market rent is way more.
加油，你會越來越好！😊
In Taiwan we pay one month up front,but we have contract with landlord for one year or two years.
It's true when you said why you need to move out of China when you have everything here and you love every minute of your life now.
That's so affordable! wowow!
In Huizhou One hr from Shenzhen I m a beach front condos one bedroom only 52 sm with balcony brand new only 2400 RMB a month partly furnished so many empty condo unsold price are dropping.
我就是惠州人，我住市区，我也打算去惠东买一套公寓。
Yes - I like black coffee, but I prefer black tea.
Its about the same size as i rent here in Norway, only i pay around 900 dollar, and it is in a small town with around 100 000 people, if it for example was in Oslo i would pay twice for the same.
Love the x mas tree in May 🤭. Lizzy you havent tell us about the maintenance fee and how hard/easy is it to call a handyman/plumber?
在中国，这样的公寓可能有物业费，几个月或者一年交一次，几百元到上千元人民币不等，没有其他费用了。在几乎所有城市，你都可以很容易联系到水电工为你解决问题，一个电话就会很快上门服务
Hello! I wanted to go to China next year, just for a semester, to study Chinese and I wanted to know which cities would you recommend?
Cute apartment!
Now I buy most things in Pinduoduo.
Nice video! How about medical insurance? How much do you pay? Thx
China is number 1 nation . You think like Chinese. We love your house snd how good your life is. Better than anywhere on earth
If China is the best, why are thousands of Chinese people coming into the states every day ?
Hhhhmmm at least you cleaned the place😂😂😂luv you babes. 6 weeks then we go apartment hunting for me❤❤❤❤
May I ask in which area of Yunnan you got this nice apartment? I would love to rent a similar one for a year or less to enjoy a break year.
I pay 2.5x that amount over in the English countryside but when I look out from my window I can see about 10 miles of countryside. I'm just on the edge of a small town. Like you were saying with the balcony, being able to go outside in the summer and have your own private space is very important. As for like for like, i think it is swings and roundabouts. We English like our large kitchens. That's an odd one. I'd suppose the Chinese were well into their cookery. I like your floors though.
如果是在乡村。2000人民币可以租个大院子。
Lizzy这个是在云南省的省会城市，在中国乡村，租个带大厨房带大院子的只需要这个价格的一半。
@@guoweixu-fu6kj 我住在一个历史悠久的集镇，所以物价比乡村要高。 英国的价格完全取决于位置。 我们有一座古老的修道院和中世纪的教堂。 你会喜欢的。

The washing machine on the balcony startled me most until I saw your bathroom :) I do wonder though. What about all the waste water from the machine??? Otherwise quite a nice apartment for a resonable price. 👍😎
Renting an apartment in Singapore, a living room with 3 very small bedrooms, 30,000 RMB a month. So compare with mine, 2,200 RMB is same as free.
In my country the rental price is even cheaper than that. But for a studio type apartment.
Meanwhile, what you rented was a 2 bedroom apartment, right?
But I think your apartment is quite cheap to rent for a 2 room apartment.
二三线城市租房感觉确实不错啊，但是在一线城市就不一样了，深圳普通的地段2200块一般都只能租到一房一厅。
Danke Lizzy ❤
I think it will grow again in China.
Geez $300 a month! I'll do without closets for that amount. Congrats on your place.
whats the easiest way to look for an apartment like this? an app maybe?
I live in shanghai suburb 4000RMB a month. have 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms.
你住的地方看起来非常好
👏
Hi, if I am visiting for hold days. Us there any possibility of getting furnished 1BR appartment in your area
500 rmb for a TV is crazy. 2200 for an apartment is also crazy. I feel like 1 RMB is basically === 1 USD give or take. Also your view is pretty good 🥰
Não. 1 USD = 7,15 RMB
👍❤️
I suggest you stay on the top floor，Avoid noise from upstairs
by the way have you ever been stone forest and jiuxiang cave in kunming it is so beautiful
Yessss I have 😁 jiuxiang cave I havent been to
Wow! I paid $300/mth just for my aiyi (cleaning lady) in Shanghai. My one bedroom apartment cost $1500 + per month.
Depends on which city you live in . In Shanghai, you’ll still paying $3000 rent per month.
Thank you for the information regarding costs. But the realisation is that we are being ripped off in the West. We were informed via the Media in the UK this last week that we are all paying 37% in taxes, before we pay our rent etc etc. We pay 20% VAT on petrol and a Petrol Tax. I could go on. Enjoy the balcony.
Usually many Chinese people do not like very soft mattress, they prefer a little harder or firmer mattress.
@lizzyinchina, I've been wanting to ask:
Do you have any recommendations on the process of applying for a job in China? If you can share how you applied and the type of work you do.
Thank you.
english teacher is good job for foreigner in china
In USA, you pay $300 and up for a storage container.
Christmas tree on may nice
Happy holidays! 😂😂😂😂
