When it comes to natural beauty, it’s definitely a decent choice. The weather could be better though — there’s quite a bit of rain and humidity. Public transport is good, and even though the city is large, it somehow feels quite compact. None of my friends live so far away that it’s inconvenient to meet up in their neighborhood. It has many of the conveniences you’d find in a place like Shanghai but without the overwhelming crowds, noise, and hectic pace.
As for nightlife, honestly, it’s pretty boring.
I’ve heard people say that locals here aren’t as friendly or open-minded as in some other cities, but I don’t think I’ve experienced enough to really say. Personally, I’m not convinced the culture varies that much from city to city — at least not among the mainstream Han-majority cities.

I’m getting ready to move to China and I want to find a place to live, but I’m not sure what documents or steps are needed for renting. Any tips?
