    I love the small town atmosphere here! Everyone is so neighborly and kind. The schools systems are over the moon amazing, and the local grub is to die for. We enjoy living here so much. We wouldn't change a thing! Keep it up China!

    China is a rapidly expanding vacation oriented town. It is located around scenic China lake, a coveted fishing spot. There are a variety of local business as well as larger companies which provide the community with good jobs. Overall the town is a good place for raising a family, as it has good schools and is close enough to Augusta, where there is good healthcare and more job opportunities.
    China is a really lovely town for those who want a steady, and simplistic life. It's a good place to raise kids, especially with Erskine Academy there.
