[quote=GUEST74198,510227]Dear Nancy,

Taizhou is a relatively small town in China (zhejisng province).
I live in Ningbo, 180 km north of Taizhou.
As per security in China this is not a problem almost nowhere, and being a foreigner it is even more safe.
Having paid internet on your mobile is not really a need, as wifi hospots are available almost everywhere ( coffees, starbucks, mcdo, even your hotel has this) otherwise a connection at your home will cost you around 100 to 150 usd per year depending your speed requirements.
Life is not expensive unless you want to live on wesern standards  ( food) if you ok with chines food i will say that 200 to 300 usd per month are more thean enough, for lodging it can be from 2000 to 5000 rmb a month depend what you are looking for.
Taizhou is definitely Zhejiang, and Ningbo my town, is only 40 minutes by bullet train.
Weather is like in europe cold in winter today is 13 degrees celsius in ningbo but very hot in summer. 
Tourism there is more local than international.
Regarding expats probaly there is few, now a days expats a everywhere in China most of them english teachers.

Good luck[/quote]
