Guangzhou🇨🇳

For digital nomads, this Chinese metropolis offers genuine affordability. You can snag a 1-bedroom in the city for around $700, or a bit further out for just $450 – a steal compared to many nomad hubs. Eating out is cheap too, with a meal at a nice restaurant costing about $16. This makes it ideal for budget-conscious nomads or those looking to stretch their earnings. Internet is solid, boasting 90 Mbps, so your calls and work won't be interrupted. There are also 15 coworking spaces to choose from. However, be prepared for a low English proficiency level, which means daily interactions can be a challenge outside of expat bubbles. The nomad community is small, so you'll need to be proactive to connect. My honest caveat? Air quality can be an issue with an index of 95, so consider that if you have respiratory concerns.
