Section II: Living in China Index

Section II spans 21 different categories comprising 35 chapters covering the most salient things you need to know about what living in China is really all about, from culture shock, sex, dating, relationships, and buying your own apartment to building your own China-based website.

Each section (A through U) can be read independently of the others and interrelated topics are internally linked where appropriate for your convenience.

Finally, we've included four reader-submitted city guides for your edification and will be adding more to our collection as current teachers in China generously contribute them.
