To be honest, Beijing and Shanghai are the only big cities in local Chinese perspective, but neither of them is cheap in western standard. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are cheaper than the previous two but still expensive. If you want to live a comfortable life. Maybe go to hangzhou, chongqing, wuhan, Suzhou or xi'an, but it's all up to you because you won't have the convenience in these less internationalized or civilized cities.

Usually: Cheap city = low salary, and low economic development.
If you are Muslim you might check Xinjiang province and it's capital Urumqi, or chinas north west in general, like Xi-An.

But I'd suggest to come to the more expensive, developed cities in the east of China.
