Changsha: Generous living and housing subsidies

Generous subsidies are offered in Changsha, the capital city of Central China's Hunan province. The city announced a provision in June to offer housing and living subsidies from 6,000 yuan (about $920) to 15,000 yuan per year for graduates with different types of degrees.

Those graduates with master and doctoral degrees who work in Changsha can get 30,000 yuan and 60,000 yuan respectively, when they purchase their first residence in the city.
