It’s the cheapest period for rentals as many people leave big cities to go home, ” says Liu Ke, a marketing director at Midland Realty, a real estate agency in Shenzhen. “During graduation season, you should begin flat hunting early so that you don’t compete with thousands of graduates, ” says Liu. Here is some advice for flat hunting in China’s metropolises.

　　靠近地鐵終點(diǎn)站的房子應(yīng)該是租房首選。在上下班高峰時段，要想在地鐵線沿線各站擠上車實(shí)在太難了，但是在靠近終點(diǎn)站的站點(diǎn)上車就很容易了，有時甚至還有座。

　　Most people like to live in East Beijing, such as in the Tongzhou and Sihui areas, as they think it’s near the Central Business District. But in the west, you can find two-bedroom flats for about 4, 000 yuan a month and it only takes 40 to 50 minutes to reach the CBD area by subway without changing lines. To find a suitable neighborhood, you can either look for residential areas with many seniors, as they usually live in comfortable and convenient blocks, or if you want to share an apartment with younger people, check for classified adverts on Douban.com.

　　大多數(shù)人喜歡住在北京的東部，例如通州、四惠等地區(qū)，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這些地點(diǎn)靠近CBD中央商務(wù)區(qū)。而在北京西部城區(qū)，你能找到一間月租4000元左右的兩居室，并且坐地鐵不用換乘，只需40到50分鐘便可到達(dá)CBD。為了能夠找到一個合適的小區(qū)，你可以找那種老年人居多的社區(qū)，因?yàn)樗麄兺ǔ幼≡谑孢m便捷的地段;此外，如果你想與年輕人合租的話，你也可以到豆瓣上查找租房分類廣告。

　　盡管深圳的一些熱門地區(qū)已是擁擠不堪，房租飛漲，但遠(yuǎn)離市中心的地區(qū)是個不錯的選擇，那里的房租價格適宜。舉例來說，一套白石洲的兩居室月租要3000元，而位于橫崗的一套面積差不多的房子月租僅600元。

　　From Henggang it takes only 20 minutes to get to Luohu by subway, or 40 minutes to the business district. Living costs are also cheaper than downtown and you can get meals for 8 to 12 yuan.

　　從橫崗坐地鐵只需20分鐘就可到達(dá)羅湖，40分鐘便可到達(dá)商業(yè)區(qū)。橫崗的生活成本也比市中心低得多，一頓飯只要8到12塊錢便可解決。

　　In this area you can rent a shared flat with two bedrooms for 1, 500 yuan. There are many bus routes here and most of the tenants are students, so you can go back to enjoying campus life.

　　在這一地區(qū)，你花上1500元就可以與人合租一間兩居室。附近公交線路發(fā)達(dá)，大部分租客都是學(xué)生，所以你可以重溫一下校園生活。
