i m planing to open a restaurent business in liwan district? can any one here guide me plz
You can survive with 60k RMB or you want to live like a middle class Chinese, then somewhere around 130K RMB.
But usually a foreigner knows little about where to shop and bargain and probably travel more often than local Chinese I would say 180K RMB is needed to live comfortable. So it's about USD $26000. But you won't be able to save a lot.
