Forums > Living in Kunming > Advice of living costs/rental from locals, expats Amazing, thanks for the advice and opinions everyone, really appreciate it (and the sarcastic ones gave me a giggle). Hopefully I won't get murdered or have to resort to bathing in puddles but we'll see. The wages I've been offered are all pretty low. I look forward to arriving anyway,
Thanks
Bye for now!
Forums > Living in Kunming > Advice of living costs/rental from locals, expats Hello!
I'm seriously considering moving from England to Kunming in the next few months to take up my next teaching job. I'm just wondering from anybody with experience living there what are the living costs roughly per month? I've got 1,500 RMB p.m to find a one bed apartment/room in the Guan Du district...is this realistic? When I search online apartments seem a lot more than this but they are two bedroom and quite fancy looking.
Also - I'm used to low cost living, buy my own fruit and veg to cook, cycle everywhere and don't go out drinking much. What's the cost of living like in Kunming?
I literally have no idea, so any advice would be really appreciated and help me make my decisions
I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you! :)

Nice to meet you all. I've already found this a really useful forum and place for searching English teaching jobs and finding out more about Yunnan province - thanks!
I'm Chloe, a 25 year old English teacher and artist from England. I've got a BA in Art, a CELTA and a couple of years experience teaching English in several countries. I'm really keen to find a teaching position in Dali (or a similar place) I'm much happier when in smaller places surrounded by nature as opposed to cities.
I'd be so grateful if anybody has any personal recommendations for schools I could apply to, I've heard it's rare but this seems like the best place to ask.
I'm in England currently, so it's a bit overwhelming trying to research schools so remotely.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
