My wife and I are moving to Chenggong next month, any one know what its like down there for facilities, ie.. gyms, entertainment, food, markets etc.
I realize its all pretty much brand new.

Any feedback (except snide ) will be much appreciated.

You will find a distinct lack of all of the above. Get a really big refrigerator as restaurants aren't plenty either.

There is a spa next to the Howard Johnson. That was the only thing I thought useful out there.

If you teach at the uni, maybe you can use the student's gym facilities.

Thanks Alex, Kinda figured that may be so.

I was just thinking that as the Govt,financial businesses and most of the Universities are moving down there, a vast percentage of expats will be at least working, if not living down there sooner or later.
Also most of the students will be down there.

Their all going to need things to do. Places to eat drink etc.

So I just thought this thread could be a place we can keep each other informed as to what opens up down there.

When the subway opens up it should give a boost to the emptiness, were going to move there eventually.

I saw somewhere that even the gov. guys are digging in their heels and don't want to move out to there.

I would not expect any improvement in facilities there until I saw them.

LOL....

Too far from their Ernai i guess
