Can someone tell me what is the cost of a apartment to rent in Changchun as myself and my fiance will be teaching there this semester. I have been told by the school that i can rent one for 1200 rmb but when i check out places they want 2500 rmb per month can you give me the real price of what it will cost per month.
Aug. 10,2009 22:46 Mr.Hank(CN) replied:
As I know, 1,200RMB is enough for you to rent an apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and bathroom per month. Of course, some necessary furnitures are included, too. If the apartment is not located in the city-center or some very prosperous area, the price may be lower to 800RMB per month.

How far is changchun from beijing? I have a relative staying at changchun thus if we go beijing from changchun will it be easy and the transportation accessible?
Aug. 2,2009 21:04 Mr.Shan replied:
The distance between these two cities is about 1,000kilometers. So, you could fly from Changchun to Beijing directly. Or, you could take the express trains running between them, which just take abotu 6.5 hours on the way. Well, for the real-time flight and train's information, please refer to: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-flights/ http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

I moved to Changchun last week. No one seems to know anything about anything! ;)
I'm looking for a fitness center. I live off Dong Nanhu Road, in the Economic/Technology Development Zone, so there must be one somewhere nearby.
Where can I go...who can I ask...how can I find such information?
Xie xie!
Jul. 18,2009 01:03 Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:
You may go to the Yatai International Club at the Shiji Guangchang (Shiji Plaza), not far from Dong Nanhu Road (Dong Nanhu Dalu). Just see the map of Changchun City: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/map/changchun/
Find Dong Nanhu Dalu (near the yellow line, Huancheng DongLu) and then near it you can see Shiji Dajie. Have you seen it? The Shiji Square is just located at the crossing of Shiji Dajie and Beihai Lu.
Jul. 18,2009 04:04 Mr.Deeds(USA) replied:
Ms. Evelyn: Wow! Thanks for the information, and especially for getting back to me so quickly! That's quite close by...maybe I'll go check it out this evening! Xie xie very much!
P.S. You know I was just kidding about "no one knowing anything about anything," right? I'll still learning that my American sense of humor doesn't always translate well! ;)
Jul. 18,2009 05:47 Mr.Deeds(USA) replied:
Since I had such good luck with the fitness center question, I'd like to try one more:
Does anyone know of a good dentist near Dong Nanhu Dalu?
S/he doesn't have to be fluent in English, but some knowledge of English will be helpful since my Chinese is practically nonexistent! Xie xie again!

The highest temperature is about 30C or so. It will not be very hot, compared with Beijing. Will you come from Singapore directly? You should make a transfer at Shenyang, then take bus or train to Liaoyuan.

Hi all,
Thanks for sharing your stories and advice.
I'm an Australian, currently living in Singapore, but likely to move with my wife to an area 1 hour outside of Chang Chun for work. I am planning to take up a Chinese class for 3-4 months full-time when I get there. Does anyone have any recommendations for a course or school that I could look into in Chang Chun city?
Thanks for your help. Leo

If you want to get a head start while in Singapore, I can recommend an excellent Chinese tutor. Mandarin if her first language and her pronunciation is perfect (pronunciation can be a real problem if you choose the wrong teacher). Her Chinese name is Liu, Li Xia.

I'm a dweller living in Changchun now.Here are some useful message for you. There are many foreigners but few Chinese training lessons here.So that who want to learn Chinese often ask Chinese college students for help,some are charged and some are free since there are also many Chinese students being intereted in English or other foreign language.So when you get here you'd better try to find a college student around your living house so you can teach each other. This is Zhao Dawei,if you have any question about this city, just contact to me,my email is mdav@163.com.
Jul. 7,2009 01:34 Mr.Leo(Singapore) replied:
Thankyou very much for your responses. I will definitely start learning Chinese while in Singapore for the next few months.
I also just found out the job could be in Song Yuan outside of Chang Chun. Should be interesting.

I live and work in Changchun and can only say "please come". It's a great city and I have been to many Chinese cities - Kunming, SHanghai, Beijing, Jilin, Harbin and have enjoyed them all, but I always return to Changchun. Changchun is not full of ancient temples or amazing natural sites, it's the people - the Dong Bei Ren - North Eastern People - they are so friendly and it has been my pleasure to live and work here.

I have been taught as an English Teacher in Changchun for a month. The experiences that I encountered in this beautiful city develop my camaraderie. The Chinese people were very friendly and helpful. The weather was really amazing! The foods were great! On the other hand, they must study English for the foreigners who visit in the city. Most of the people couldn't speak English...People who will visit might be lost because there isn't translation on some streets.
