Help! Planning a Trip to China Before Moving—Any Advice?

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about making a big move to China, but I have to admit, I’m kind of clueless about the whole thing. I’m considering traveling there first to get a feel for the culture, cities, and maybe even the job market before committing to a permanent move. Has anyone here been to China? What were your experiences like?

I’d love to hear any tips you might have on places to visit or must-see attractions. Also, does anyone have recommendations for reliable tour companies? I want to make the most of my trip and experience the local life, food, and everything else!

Additionally, I’m curious about the cost of living in different cities. Should I aim for somewhere like Beijing or Shanghai, or are there hidden gems that are more affordable? Any insights would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!
