Do you speak and read Chinese? There’s lots of non-touristed big cities in China. But they’re usually shitholes.

In order to game in China you need to speak Chinese. Outside of Shanghai and Beijing/Shenzhen most people do not speak english at all

In China there is the language thing. The richer and more westernized the city, the more who speak English. As you go second and third tier, fewer speak English which cuts down yourr options online and can make day&night game fruitless or impossible.
Of you speak conversational Chinese, the that changes, and of you can read Chinese, that's a huge boost to online possibilities.
In live in Jinan, capital of Shandong province. It's livable and plenty of nice women but not really a party to. In one suburb called Changqing (not to be confused with Chongqing) there is Daxue Lu, or literally "University Road" and has about a dozen uniiversities along a strip a few miles long. Roughly in the middle is "University Square" that has heaps of shops and restaurants, a movie there and such. When the weather is nice the place is crawling with thousands of college girls, many in gaggles of tw to five, but most don't speak English.
Depending in your definition, Shenzhen is either first tier it second. There is a whole separate thread/data sheet about it.
Xiamen is the most beautiful city I've seen. Most of it is on an island where there is one light industry so there is virtually not air pollution. Is was there in February and it was 20 degrees C every day. It's sort of touristy and there are a lot of ex-pats there. A fair number of the locals can speak some English. Xia Da is the moderately famous university although there are several more on the mainland portion of the city.

^bad perspective. If you’re looking to be an expat second tier (or lower) cities are great options for multiple reasons. Not least of which is being a big fish in a small pond. Or if you’re older.
Why make life difficult? First tier cities are challenging in many ways. Quality of life is usually low, costs high, tons of competition, girls attitudes sour...
Yeah if you’re Mr. alpha that won’t matter. In which case you wouldn’t be reading this thread anyway. Certainly not seriously researching it.
The biggest trade offs with tier twos is the investment for learning language and making sure you don’t get blackballed by the community for being a player.

How about Ukraine ?Do 2nd and 3rd tier cities such as let's say Zaporijya,Kryvyi Riv or Mykolaiv have easier lays than Kiev ? In Kiev the quality is high but the competition is steep , there are many rich Ukrainian guys and also rich tourists ( for Ukrainian standarts ) . Kiev's gdp per capita is at least 2 times higher than othet Oblasts.Also almost all girls are Instagram attention whores who trade tickets / other travel expenses to Southern Europe / Dubai for sex , which is a mood killer for me even if the chick is hot. I have been to Kiev and Odessa and i think Odessa is worse among the 2 , but i have never tried the cities with population between 500k - 1 million . Does anyone have experience in this regard ? I am not talking about the average looks here , i am ok if average looks of girls are 1 notch downgrade from Kiev ( let's assume Kiev is 7 on average looks , so i am ok with a city with 6 on average , but not less . )The main thing is getting easier lays . Also living costs will be remarkably cheaper , in Kiev the rents near the center start from 700 $ / month , while in 2nd or 3rd tier it is 200 $ .The extra 500 bucks is great advantage in Ukraine .

Places with better 2nd tier cities than capital cities:
Ukraine: Kharkiv over Kiev (especially on weekends.
Czech Republic: Brno over Prague on the weekends. While Brno is a bit small and can become boring after a few days, no tourists and the Czech talent much better.
Poland: all other cities vs Warsaw!
China: Chengdu vs Beijing/Shanghai/Shenzhe
Chengdu wins hands down.
