Deep dives

Retirement migration in China

China's capital, Beijing, is encouraging its residents to travel to southern China and enjoy the sunshine during retirement. This retirement migration trend is not new, as other countries like the UK have experienced international retirement migration. Language and affordability play a role in people's choices, as British citizens often retire to countries like Spain. In China, the migration is within the same country, reducing potential cultural and linguistic challenges. Popular destinations for retirement migration in China include Hainan, Yunnan, and Guangxi, which offer better climates and natural beauty. Beijing and other provinces are establishing policies and support infrastructure to facilitate this migration.
