The book opens with an introductory chapter about China’s history, government, economy, people and culture, religion and the arts. This chapter also covers the logistics of a fact-finding trip and includes a suggested itinerary. The authors recommend that “if you are considering a move to China and haven’t been there yet, put this [book] down and book your flight immediately. Reading about China…cannot paint a true picture of the real thing.”

The section on "Daily Life" covers important practical aspects of living in China, such as visas and residence permits, housing considerations, language and education, health, employment, finance, communications, and transportation. The section on "Prime Living Locations" introduces readers to the various islands and the best locations for expatriates, depending upon their interests, lifestyle, and career choices. This chapter is especially useful if you are in the planning stages of your move to China and are not yet committed to a specific destination. The authors focus on the most popular destinations for expatriates, such as China’s larger cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Hongkong), but also cover other attractive regions and smaller cities.
