Every long distance mover we have ever looked at merely ship, and trans-ship. You need to arrange men at either end for the humping and dumping, which you pay separately.. And none of them gave us any confidence. We have also lost stuff when we used one, and they didn't really care, like they expected and accepted it.
We have used Asia Express twice. For inter province moves in China. They cost about double but I can highly recommend them. Very professional. They once lost a piece of a desk, and traced the item two days later, and then returned it a distance of 1000km.
They send a couple of guys down from the nearest depot to supervise the loading and also ensure that items are properly wrapped/packed and secure. For example they disassembled and bubble wrapped my ancient bike. This was final pack to make sure things are secure. They will do packing, but there is a charge for this.
They also send a guy from the nearest depot to the destination to supervise the unloading and organise a local gang to unload.

发布者Tier ones, in the downtown/CBD areas will always be a good bet, but not so good in the suburbs unless serviced by or soon to be serviced by, Metro/subway lines.
Lower tier cities also have potential. Henan, Zhengzhou has boomed. Due to the city being named as an expanding rail hub for the Belt and Road initiative. Also, anywhere not yet serviced by a metro line. There is still room in this latter category in Kunming, but there is a need to be fast as the metro line as planned should be completed by next August.
I would also avoid buying new. Some of the more upmarket villas in SW Kunming are very poorly built, many are apartments and villas are overpriced and people are fighting to buy the more affordable.
Buying second hand may be less of an investment opportunity, unless a new metro line is going through. However, you can see quality or other issues more clearly and find out the reputation of buildings and management, you can buy already decorated (ready to occupy), there will be fewer unknowns.

Mid-Autumn Festival, China's harvest celebration
发布者The story of Li Bai always reminds me of:
The Little Fete
by J.C. Cooper
I take a bottle of wine and I go to drink it among the flowers.
We are always three -
counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon.
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking,
and my shadow is never thirsty.
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence.
When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart;
This sadness I do not know.
When I go home,
the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me.
