The village in the city is a magical place.
It is different from first-tier cities such as Shenzhen and Beijing. If you live near the city center, the rent is mostly outrageous. You may have to give the landlord half of a month's salary, just like working hard to support the local landlord.
One of the loveliness of Guangzhou is that the village in the city is close to the city center, with dense subways and even convenient BRT buses. Even if you live in a village in the city, you can still take you directly to the company downstairs, and the rent is relatively affordable.
The only regret is that many villages in Guangzhou are endless dark and damp alleys, and foreigners and junior office workers will never see the light of day (most senior office workers choose residential houses).
Once it rains, the whole alley is covered with yellow mud, and the rain washes the ground without cement into mud paste. It's okay to wear flat shoes. If you wear high heels, you will almost stop as soon as you leave. Look down to see if your toes are dirty and there is water, and then look back to see if the clothes behind you are splashed with cement and mud by high heels. At this time, I am very distressed.
If you are lucky, you can rent a house near the road, but you have to pay the price, that is, the rent is higher. Like other first-tier cities, Guangzhou, which is also an inch of land and gold, first remembered to see the sunshine. But when the weather is bad, at least the road is much easier.

The landlords in Guangzhou are not very diligent. They will not decorate their houses beautifully, or look better after secondary processing, and put on some decent furniture. Whether you like renting or not, they won't wait for money to be spent.
Of course, there are advantages to this. Local first-hand landlords who don't like to be in charge are cheaper and good for compact office workers.
Unfortunately, most of the houses in the village are now "kept" by second-hand landlords. Second-hand housing rental is a profitable market, so foreigners specially talk to local landlords, contract the whole building, and pay the rent to the local landlords on time and in one lump sum to be responsible for management. The local landlord was happy to be at leisure and became the shopkeeper of cutting.
Second-hand landlords will not be idle after contracting the whole building. They will specially decorate the house and then buy simple furniture in second-hand shops. As a result, the rent will go up a lot. It is more difficult to find a cheap and good house in Guangzhou village now than before.
From studying to working, I also stayed in Guangzhou for seven or eight years, during which I never left. I moved back and forth five or six times. If you want to find a cost-effective rental house in a village in Guangzhou, I have a little suggestion for you. Just try to find it on the bulletin board in the nearby village.
If you look at it online, it must be a lot of intermediary houses or unreliable information, and even a team of scammers who specialize in defrauding your deposit, except for some personal reasons. It is also skillful to find it on the bulletin board. If you want to find the landlord's house, you must remember that among many house stickers, what you are looking for is the one handwritten with a pen, even the one with ugly handwriting.
This is from experience, or a friend told me. Every time he looks for a house, it is cheap and good, with high cost performance. That's what happened. Why? Because if he is a second-hand landlord, it is very precious for him to make a living. Generally, he will not write his own rental paper, but print it out directly and post it in many places. The local landlord is different. Usually leisure and old age. They can't play with computers, so they just take a piece of paper and write it out and post it.
This little trick sounds simple, but it is super practical.

When I first lived in Guangzhou, I didn't think the city was good. Anyway, it is close to home, so it is convenient to go home on holiday. At that time, I envied other first-tier cities to be more prosperous and challenging. Later, I learned from some friends and online information that compared with other cities, Guangzhou is really suitable for living and working.
Guangzhou is a city that combines prosperity with civilians. Unlike Shanghai and Shenzhen, housing prices are particularly high, and the overall cost of living is naturally high. A while ago, the hit movie "Later Us" Lin Jianqing and Fang Xiaoxiao lived in Beijing. There is only one Little Square in the rented house, and there is no sunshine or air to patronize. The fragile door seems to creak and collapse when pushed, which is simply unbearable.
As long as Guangzhou spends no more than 1000 yuan, it can rent a good house in the village in the city. My friends and I live on the sixth floor of the top floor 1 hall 1 room. There is no shelter in the room, and you can be awakened happily by the sun in the morning. The balcony can be used for washing machines, drying clothes and planting plants, and the air is good. Stay, only full of comfort, not depressed. Because we are the first-hand landlord, our monthly rent is only 700 yuan, and we get good living conditions at a lower cost.
In short, whether you are rich or not, whether you are successful in counterattack or on the road of struggle, Guangzhou can tolerate you. She doesn't care who you are, she treats you equally.
Guangzhou is a city with a combination of fast and slow rhythm. Living in a village in the north of Shanghai, I have to take the subway for two or three hours every day, and the time is wasted in the physical and mental exhaustion of squeezing the subway. In a village in Guangzhou, as long as you rent a reasonable place, it usually takes no more than two hours to commute at peak hours.
You may have to work nonstop, stay up late and work overtime on weekends, but living in Guangzhou, you can feel the city calling you to slow down from time to time.
Teahouses can be seen everywhere. Many people in Guangzhou like to sigh for morning tea, read newspapers slowly, chat with three aunts and six grandmothers and make tea. A breakfast may take two or three hours. Many young people with delicate makeup gather at the Pearl River after work or on weekends to drink and play, and happily "idle away" their time. ...
Time is slowing down bit by bit. She appeals to you not to forget to enjoy the present life while working hard.
Living in Guangzhou and struggling in Guangzhou, the usual busyness and fatigue will be diluted and taken away by a comfortable environment. Here, opening the door is the world, and closing the door is the purity of the temple.
If you want to leave your hometown to work hard, if you are confused and don't know which city to choose, maybe you can try Guangzhou.
