Hey Peter, which general direction from the centre will you be working?
Tongzilin/Yulin area has a lot of expats compared to other areas of the city. Europe City, Master and Utopia are all heavily westernised housing complexes, to the south between ring roads 2 & 3.
When I came out here my company helped put us in touch with a relocation company, Modern Family, who are pretty good. Could be worth getting in touch with them if you want to get a head start before you land – http://www.modernfamily.cn/
