As China become more and more important both in politic and economy, there are increasing number of foreign people choose to live in China.

1. Low cost of living
Although prices in China are rising, the cost of living still compares favorably to most industrialized countries. You will be amazed by how comfortably you can live and how strong your purchasing power is. You can afford a lifestyle you are unlikely to be enjoying at home: get a housekeeper, travel every month, enjoy frequent restaurant meals, massages, and nights on the town. Even wear tailor-made clothes!

2. Work is relatively easy to find.
The global economy has tanked, but China’s economy continues to grow. The easiest (by far) industry to get into if you want to live in China and you can’t speak Chinese is teaching English. You can get a job teaching English in a university in Beijing with a Bachelor’s degree in any field. If you are lucky enough you will seize the opportunity to make a great fortune. All the news institutions have focused their eyes on China, in the hope of setting their own business there. As for China itself, more and more people become rich, which means who can meet their right needs will gain huge profits.

3. Delicious food
There are a huge variety of flavours and provincial dishes all of which taste much good– be sure to sample the spicy dishes in Sichuan Province, share some dim sum in Hong Kong, the exquisite seafood along the Chinese coast and don’t forget to include Beijing Duck and Mongolian Hot Pot whilst in China.

4. Friendly people
Chinese people have precious virtue that they are willing to help others. Chinese people are always kindly to help foreigners whenever they are in trouble. The Chinese will almost always demand to pay for your meal at the restaurant, buy you drinks, accompany you around the local sights and welcome you into their homes.

5. Charming scenery and natural beauty
In China, numerous attractions are worthy visiting including historical sites and cultural relics, folks and customs, landscapes and human sights, ect. Visit the Buddhist monasteries leading up to the snow-capped mountains of Tibet, ride horses and camp out overnight in the yurts of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, sit back and relax as you sail along the famous Yangtze river, marvel at the pandas of Chengdu or accept the challenge of the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunan.

6. Mysterious culture
Living in China offers you an insight into the hidden beauty and mystique of a rich and ancient Chinese culture. China offers revitalizing and spiritually uplifting techniques of Tai Chi, the discipline of the Shaolin Monks and their pursuit of excellence in Martial Arts, the beauty of Chinese calligraphy and paintings, the evocative charms of Beijing opera and the mesmerizing displays of Chinese acrobatics.

7. Great social life  
China is booming and it can be felt all around you. In Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and China’s numerous major cities, prepare to be amazed by the bright lights of thousands of restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs. The young Chinese really know how to party and the cities stay awake all through the night.

    Gotta to agree with you on number three, and also add two small bonus reasons for that article:

    1. Tipping in restaurants isn’t part of the culture here.
    2. No official drinking age – ideal for students
