I lived in Chengdu from 2009 to 2018. In 2009, the only public transit was buses and taxis. By the time I left 6 subway lines were open and there was car sharing. It was incredible, and the changes were actually emotional taxing. Chengdu, and most of China, is very affordable compared to western countries. It gets very expensive when you consider putting children into K-12 private school! 😢

$1050 a month is pretty modest amount to spend in a metropolis such as Chengdu where life is relatively comfortable at a modest cost. Last visited 19 years ago, the city must have changed beyond recognition. I like places where your dollar can stretch quite a bit, Chengdu seems to be one such place in China.
When I studied in Nanchang（南昌）, my rent was 7000元 (about $1000 USD) for a complete 12 months.
我在广东的四线城市，每个月支出成本只不到你的三分之一，但是我过得很幸福！
Thank you mate for this programme.
You never told me you had a yt channel Michael! Great stuff! 👍
Nice video. My fiance and I are looking to move from Beijing to a different city and this has definitely given us some perspective. It's a beautiful city and your apartment is wonderful - - especially given the price. We live in an apartment that's not even half as large and are paying nearly 6k. It's ridiculous!
My girlfriend and I are planning on doing the same. We also live in Beijing and our rent is 10K per month (because we live in ZhongGuanCun which is a very expensive place). The location is great though but that price. Although based on this video, the only thing we will really be able to save on is rent. Everything else is similarly priced as it is in Beijing. Whether or not our life changes for the better is going to depend on if our salaries stay the same or are higher.
2000USD/月in a fairly uncomfortable Toronto based student living arrangement.
真好，我在多伦多房租加车就2000了，实在住不起

I look forward returning to Chengdu after the pandemic. Miss everything there.
Last visited Chengdu in 2009 and miss it a lot. Can't wait till returning to Chengdu is possible.
We’re looking forward to your coming to Chengdu again to travel and eat hot pot！
那么好的频道居然没人关注
在油管黑中国才有市场。
I am the local in Chengdu so I don’t have to pay rent or mortgage. My cost of living would be $300/ month. But I spend lots of money on traveling.
That's the new Chinese dream! In America it's become almost impossible to own a home, and even if I owned a home, I would be taxed massively for it for the rest of my life as if it wasn't my home at all :(
Good video ! Greetings from Niushikou (:
难道是牛市口？😂
This is definitely useful information. Let just say it's about 8,000 yuan per month. That's slightly higher than home (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). Groceries are comparatively similar to home. I'll be moving to ChengDu this August.
Welcome!
nice info, thx
We also want to know the daily living cost about your city.
Nice little apartment, clean and comfortable
Looks like a beautiful place to stay. I would love to live in Chengdu. My biggest hurdle would be the language barrier. I'm Chinese but don't speak or understand mandarin. At my age I feel it would be such a steep learning curve that it would make my life difficult.
It's never too late to learn.
You can easily find native and non-native friends who speak English in Chengdu and English translations everywhere. I am from there. It's becoming more and more international.
no worries, all kinds of people would live in China just fine, let alone you are actually Chinese,
@@Zergcerebrates completely agree
Just stay where you are then.
Nice
You forgot to mention that the best reason of living in Chengdu is that, you can go to the zoo/panda base to see many cute pandas and their super cute babies!!!😂😂😂
wow an apartment like this one costs over 10000 RMB/month
Would be great if you also discuss salary and income to compare with the COL.
Thats interesting rent is so much cheaper in Chengdu than Chongqing. Mine is 1900 RMB but most of my friends pay between 2,500-3,500.
其实一二线城市就房租贵点，其余衣食行的开支比三四线城市更便宜。
确实，这个我深有体会，比如点外卖，大城市选择多，又实惠，小城市选择少，还不便宜。这也许跟大城市资源分配有关吧。除了房价/房租，衣食交通等生活开销，大城市反而更便宜。
吃住贵
@@motee5093 是的，老家KTV贵死
我也要去 🇨🇳
欢迎美女来。。。嘿嘿

i think for similar lifestyle in sydney it will cost you at least $5000 - 1 bed in city $2500 permonth , Transports train $150, Grocery $500, Coffee 3x per day ($300 per month) , eating out $25 per ea (average) , Internet $60 , gym $100 ,
so this guy keeps buying expensive stuff and I was like no, no one buys head and shoulders for 89 and a bag of rice for 50+ yuan at a Hongqi store; and spending 200 yuan per workout session?? that's ridiculous, my gym membership costs about 30 yuan per visit....so i was like hell no, this is gonna get really expensive, and then, LO AND BEHOLD, HE ONLY ENDS UP SPENDING
Nice life
Wow so affordable versus outrageous costs in Vancouver Canada ...rent $2500 a month plus utilities..food and everything is super expensive ...I earn six figures and feel poor here...can’t wait to visit and spend some time in Chengdu
What's the name and location of the cross-fit gym?
You are living alone. If you are living with a partner, or just sharing, that reduces the cost of rent. My flat in Chengdu is 4000, for 100m2, so that's just 2000 each. I rarely drink coffee outside, too expensive, and we normally eat out once a week, unless invited by, or inviting friends. Otherwise we cook at home (actually "I" cook is more accurate...). A week's worth of veggies for two is only about 25 kuai. So our weekly trip to the market is about 125 including meat, again for 2, but then we also buy other stuff online. Also, subway is not the only option. I ride shared bikes for any distance less than 8-10 km, and it's a lot cheaper still. So in the end, my regular monthly budget is less than 5000, for what I consider very comfortable living.
I remember being thrilled at first about buying the new Starbucks Reserve coffee beans, only to be taken aback by the $35 USD price of a 4 oz. package. Good coffee isn’t cheap there, but there was Greenhouse Coffee online and Costco on Taobao.
Hello! This video was uploaded 3 years ago and I just wonder if there were any drastic changes to cost of the living or if the prices remained relatively the same?
Thank you so much for this video, it was so nice to see this wonderful city!~
Almost the same! Welcome to Chengdu!!
@@ChengduPlus Thank you so much!~
My utility bill in US is so fucking high, almost 7 times what you pay there.
How did you find your apartment? Any recommended website to look for rent? Thank you
EXCEPT RENT LIVE IN CHENGDU WAS VERY Confertable
How do you get the unlimited 5G with internet so cheap.... Would like to get one as well.
Go with China Telecom. Cheap 5G plan with home internet.
Chinese Goverment is trying to win the 5G game angist US，that is y we get cheap 5G hhh
5 new lines totaling 160km put into service in one shot. WTH.
Hi! I wanna ask how the weather conditions affect your daily life in Chengdu? Does it rain a lot or is it mostly cloudy? When I researched about the weather quality, I found out air pollution is an important problem. Cheers!
3k rmb for that apt in hi tech district , this guy has won a lottery ticket
The apartment is amazing!What's the name of the apartment?
❤️❤️❤️
在北京，养个孩子，两个车，每个月起码两万多固定支出
一线太贵
In smaller cities in China, you can even buy a small decent apartment for just RMB 20,000 ! That's equivalent to USD 3,100 - !!
That's why there's no homeless people in China.
$6,000 to $7,000 per month in North San Jose
How about Nanchong? Is it a fourth-tier city?
£480/week for rent only😂😂😂
Lol, living the London life.
very affordable. unlike Los Angeles :(
In Canada it costs an arm and a leg, but hey we have "free health care" but actually not because we pay the taxes for this "free" health care. 😂
Really freaking annoying background music. Horrible. Turn it off.
噠噠噠！😘麼麼噠！yes
你在成都过着上海的生活水平。
其实可以更便宜。
一家人（3个成年人，2小孩儿5岁和10个月）住在成都，除了房租，每个月7000（日常生活及交通费用，不包括小孩儿学费）
人民币
如果加上小孩教育费用等所有开支，一家人一个月花1万左右
咖啡好贵
这些日用品超市卖的也太贵了，黑店啊。。京东就1/3价格吧
@@borderlesslife Haha I thought so too. Who shops at a convenience store if they're trying to show off how cheap a city is, they're always at least 50% more, maybe double or triple!
哭死，我现在这个国家需要这个价格乘三倍，然后每个月结束以后，我觉得我就没剩什么了。
在中国住对做自媒体的最爽了
哪个国家

那个冒焦火辣串串一点都不好吃，全是增香剂，添加剂
he spent 24 RMB on a cup of coffee?
这取决你住在哪里，怎样消费还有你的消费水平
Actually Chengdu is second tier city in China.
又没说是一线，二线挺好的
man....
You seem to be from AU, UK or?
But not from the USA...
For me, at least 8000 RMB a month to survive in Chengdu...
男主角他有UA-cam嗎？
应该是成都招商局推广城市拍的
@@user-dh7yu4bv4f 謝謝解答！我想知道他私人的UA-cam頻道🥰

Well then in Vancouver, you would spend twice your monthly cost of living in Chengdu for rental alone. 😂😂😂
You pay $500/month for that rather cozy apartment in Chengdu; you'd be looking at $2000/month in Vancouver. (Internet is ~$100/month. Cellphone ~$85/month.)
If you rented that is. If you buy, the real estate has been appreciating approximately 5-25% (sometimes as much as 50% during the peak) annually - so you pretty much get living expenses free, if you plan on selling it.
In fact China internet is super slow !
depends on what city what part of the city and carrier, you have posted what is called a half truth
Are you forgot to using the VPN😂😂😂
No,it is super fast,5G everywhere,you must have been to the fake China
You show the cost for "skin care" but you don't bother to shave. Don't you think that that is ironic? If you recalled cared about how you looked you would not look like a bum who just jumped off the back end of a freight train near Tucumcari, New Mexico!
another PROPAGANDA video how much is the ccp paying you for this PROPAGANDA
I think Chengdu develp Département invited him. It makes no sens to say ccp all the time. If you are taiwanese i forgive you because you are likely to be brainwashed
Haha... You are so humorous.
@@MaltiAlex ,not brainwash bro,his brain already dismantled..
If it is a propaganda, what did they try to fake? or, what is it that you think is not true in this video? Any evidence?
How many words do you know about China other than 'CCP'?
I am sorry but your words are actually doing nothing but showing us how ignorant you are.
John is jealous.
