Suggest you do a lot more research or you will get done like a turkey.

I would not advice retirement in China unless you speak a Chinese dialect fluently and have a really good grasp of Chinese culture. For a westerner like me, a two weeks tourism trip around China seemed more than enough. After that, having a good time became very hard to achieve.

Just for comparison, I lived in Japan for 7 years, and never felt like I belonged to the place or met someone who did, although a lot of foreigners choose to live there for the economic stability.

Stayed at Waterfall Hotel, excellent 5 star hotel. Went to 7 Star park and took a trip on boat to Hangzhou. Next, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and surrounding areas for Chinese Lunar New year of the Ox. Is anyone else planning ?

I like it because it is close to English speaking Hong Kong. Hong Kong would be too crowded, I think. My experience with inner China was that very very few people spoke English.

By the way, i had lived there in 1990 and had lived in Hong Kong for 7 years. Never feel safe in Shenzhen. sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every corner of the world has nice people and assholes. Totally agree. Cultral difference is a major issue. i have been lived in US for the last 9 years, and i have never felt i fit in. Of course, lots of colleagues are ass. if you don't think or speak the way Americans do, they laughed at you. At least, Chinese don't do that.

I suppose wherever one lives, one has a need to feel the sense of belongings. Acceptance by the others are crucial for the adeptation in the foreign countries.
