The conclusion after rational analysis is:
Either find the children (live alone) or stay at home honestly.
Actually, regardless of health emergencies, I think every province in China can stay for one year, rent a house, see the local scenery and taste the local food. Isn't it soon?
However, considering the health-related, the problem is not so simple. In the case of sudden acute health problems, the risk will increase without children around.
If you are healthy and worry-free, you can consider renting a house in turn in some cities; Otherwise, you need to be careful.
I'm a northerner from the Near East. I sleep on the kang in my hometown. I grew up eating snacks of northeast rice and sauerkraut. I guess my living habits are similar to yours. I have been in Yunnan for more than ten years. At first, I traveled all the cities I had heard of in China, and finally chose to retire in Yunnan. Yunnan is warm and beautiful, with spring-like seasons, fresh air and picturesque scenery, which is very suitable for the elderly in Northeast China. I'll give you some very pertinent suggestions as follows:
First, the year is nearly 50, and the altitude problem should be considered first. In Shangri-La and Lijiang, the altitude is very high. If you have hypertension, heart disease, tracheitis and respiratory sensitivity, I suggest you choose Dali, Kunming, Yuxi, Qujing, mangshi, Tengchong, Ruili, Pu 'er and Banna. These cities have different nationalities, different architectural styles and different temperatures. Let's see what you like. Afraid of cold or heat? In addition, the size of urban population is different, and the housing prices are also very different.
Second, the eating habits in Yunnan are completely different from those in Northeast China. The local people are salty and spicy, with heavy taste. I suggest you choose to live near supermarkets and vegetable markets. In recent years, more and more northerners have come, and it is easy to buy northeast sauerkraut in the vegetable market. Try to do it yourself, which is good for your health.
Third, the local culture looks fresh, but it is difficult to integrate. Southerners and northerners have very different habits of treating people. But now there are many Northeasters in Yunnan, and it is easy to make friends in the north.
I tell you from my experience that it is ok to play in Yunnan for a while, but it is unrealistic to support the elderly! Because of Yunnan's environment, diet, climate, customs and so on, a person who has lived in the north for a long time can't adapt at all. I worked in Yunnan for several years, and I have been to almost all prefectures in Yunnan. Beautiful natural environment, unique and charming scenery, low prices and simple folk customs. There is nothing to say about these, but the diet makes it difficult for me as a northerner to adapt. I can't adapt to rice noodles, bait, bait slices, barbecue ... my stomach can't adapt, and I almost died after eating a barbecue in Dali. Local snacks have a unique flavor, but I have been eating them for a long time. Scared my little heart pounding. In winter, Kunming, Dali and Baoshan can be used during the day, and two beds are better at night. It's always warmer outside than at home, and my old legs can't stand it. When I am old, I need to communicate with others, otherwise it will be difficult for northerners to understand Alzheimer's disease sooner or later. Therefore, it is better to suggest that the northeast people go to Hainan, because there are many northeast people there.
