What is the Most Convenient way for a Visitor to Carry Money?
If you're going to be in China for more than a month, set up a local bank account. It only takes a few minutes and you\'ll be able to use your account card anywhere in China without paying an exorbitant transfer fee! You also get a better rate on your dollar.

If you set up a Chinese account, it means that you'll be able to use your card in any ATM, and the cost is 2RMB per time, or free if you use your own bank's ATMs. There are no monthly charges for keeping a bank
account open, or fees for paying with debit card, which means it's cheaper than keeping
 using your overseas bank card to withdraw money.

Advice for Buying Property in China
While the house was constructed without any major problems, you had an advantage. Specifically, we have a family friend who owns the real estate company, therefore, small problems we encountered were easily fixed. I assume most expatriates do not have this luxury.

One, don’t invest in forward delivery housing - buying property before it’s finished or even begun to be built - the price may be a little cheaper, but the risk is much higher.
No one wanted to help and everyone started finger-pointing. Luckily, labor is cheap in China and it only cost us a few hundred US dollars to fix.
