OUR PEOPLE IN CHANGZHOU
“I find Changzhou to be a very modern and clean city. My wife and son live with me and I feel it is safe and family-oriented. There is a small expat community and many very good restaurants. The transportation system is well-organized and convenient. One of the wonderful advantages to living in China is experiencing a society in transition. There are several breaks throughout the year that give me the opportunity to travel to other parts of China and experience fascinating historical and cultural sites.“
