China Islands for families with kids

A family-first read of China Islands: where schools are, whether there is a hospital on-island, typical rent bands, and how islands differ for daily life with children. U.S. passport shown below — use compare to filter UK or EU.

How to use this page

  1. Scan the island cards for the biggest family tradeoffs.
  2. Check schools by island — confirm tuition and ages with each school.
  3. Use the comparison table for side-by-side healthcare, rent, and transport.
  4. Open individual island profiles for sourced detail and map switching.
  5. Or use the family shortlist wizard to rank islands by your kids' ages and budget.

Plain-language summaries — not rankings. Your budget, school needs, and tolerance for ferry-only access will drive the answer.
