Checking into China, I found a ranking of the most livable cities there. I did not recognize the name of a single one. They are:
1. Qingdao, Shandong Province
2. Suzhou, Jiangsu Province
3. Taizhou, Jiangsu Province
4. Xiamen, Fujian Province
5. Ningbo, Zhejiang Province
6. Changsha, Hunan Province
7. Liaocheng, Shandong Province
8. Hechi, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region
9. Baotou, Neimenggu Autonomous Region
10. Xinyang, Henan Province
I'm an English teacher looking for a new destination, something outside of Latin America. Turkey and China are the two top contenders in my book. In Turkey I would just go to Istanbul because outside of there (or maybe Izmir/Ankara) I feel it would just get too conservative to tolerate.
What's the situation like in second-tier Chinese cities? I imagine in rural China you'd find very conservative attitudes, but in these cities with a few million people, do those attitudes still exist, or are these cities attitudes more in line with Beijing/Shanghai etc.?
