Moving to Xi'An, China next year. Any helpful hints to make the move smooth.

15 years ago
For instance, my wife is Chinese but she has been in U.S. for 8 years and has heard of higher prices on everything from her family and not really sure what I might miss when we move and wish I had brought more of to China.
Like electronics; cameras, laptops and toothpaste, socks, Levis, shoes. My brother-in- law says shoes are very expensive so should I buy 2-3 pairs to take with me rather than buy there?
ALSO, how much cash should I carry or is allowed into China for each person? What places do I stay out of in Xi'An? What should I be aware of in protecting myself ag. pickpockets? My wife's family is warning us about how prevalent of a problem this is in Xi'An. Any and all info. no matter what the subject from respondents is appreciated. I'm sure I have overlooked some important subjects.
thank you
