Chongqing and chengdu Or shanghai , beijing and shenzhen?

none..

Chengdu shares a more friendly atmosphere, and the life style there is relaxing. A really cool city. As for job, it is not as easy to find a job for foreigners as that in Beijing.

I agree with @ coolwid. SZ is nice city overall.

To let you more familiar with CCP-China before you go there, Many CCP 50-Centers on the web, JungleJoke/coolwid the paid mouthpiece of mafia CCP works on YA full time to spit CCP propaganda. His description tells exactly the herds of ruthless, ruleless, orderless, mannerless, lawless, freedomless, shameless but corrupted, greedy, uncivilized, barbaric, arrogant CCP-Chinese deliberately dispatched to HK by his masters in the hundreds of thousands daily ruining and damaging peace, tranquility, tidiness, livelihood and everything in HK since 1997. 17 years of merge gone by, similar to China, vast majority HKers dont gain any benefits of the so called "prosperity brought about by CCP-China", on the contrary many are having a worsened livelihood than under the Brit, eg everywhere packed with ruthless, orderless, spitting, elbowing CCP-Chinese, inflations/property/dining/rents/all prices jetted up by corrupted/greedy CCP-Chinese. CCP repeating the tricks as applied in Tibet, Xinjiang - sending herds of CCPers there to dilute, wipe out the local cultures; grab & abuse everything HK has to offer then spread lies around what great benefits the corrupted mafia CCP bringing to HK & force the locals to worship CCP as God. I'm living in NY which is quite similar to HK in many ways inclu tons of illegal CCP-Chinese aliens hiding and committing all sorts of crimes, stealing everything, pick-pockets, prostitutions, scamming, money laundering and illegally working there. Though CCP is now the richest government on earth, its people still remain the poorest and in poverty because all China's wealth and assets are with the CCPers who are holding western democratic passports despite they keep brainwashing CCP-Chinese how great one-party dictatorship is and the bad of democracy. As some answerers say, HK is a jewel while China is trash even more so now w/ the devastated air/water/soil pollutions of eastern cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin aren't suitable for human lives. Supervision & accountability do not exist in China. Protests are happening all over China daily which are being covered up by CCP, ww.molihua.org If NY were to merge with Mexico with the former forced to follow Mexico's, will the Yankees be happy? NO. If Shanghai merging with DPRK with Shanghai listening to DPRK, Shanghainese will be unhappy too. After 17 yrs of merge, it's obvious that HKers & CCP-Chinese are people of 2 completely different world, from culture, traditions, behaviors to language, diet, mentality & attitudes of doing things, forcing the 2 people to mix together "as a family", when clashes occur which are obvious, then lecture HKers to tolerate CCP-Chinese' horrible behaviors is simply idiotic and only inhumane, freedom-less, silly CCPers would do. HK is a good example to show Taiwan that 1 country 2 systems wouldnt work. A HK blogger tells of the grievances suffered by HKers nowadays, 1. You're living in HK, you can't buy your daily necessities in supermarkets in neighbourhood because many mainlanders buy loads of cartons of Made-in-HK/Made-in-the West/Japan, beverages, instant noodles/rice/nappies/milk powder/medicines/Dettol, etc & smuggle them out of HK by the already-crowded commuter trains daily all due to the uncontrollable corruptions going on inside China turning all food and products either fake or toxic. 2. You're a HK taxpayer & find that many mainlanders abuse the services of public hospitals, like the NHS in the UK, by giving births in HK so that their kids can get the right of abode & enjoy HK's better social welfare. The wards are now overcrowded & some mainlanders sneak out of HK without paying for the services. HK's taxation system is independent from that of the mainland. 3. You're a mother in HK, your kid is getting into public primary school or kindergarten & find that the competition for schools is extremely vigorous as many kids whose parents arent from HK occupy more than 1/2 of the school quotas. 4. What would you think if your favourite local restaurants gone because of the rent soar & new jewellery shops/high-end shops opened? You never go there, only mainland tourists love them. 5. Eating, drinking not allowed on HK trains. A mainland woman letting her kid eat snacks/smelly food on train. You go to remind her in native Cantonese, she refused to comply saying you should speak to her in Mandarin since HK is China. An argument follows, someone took the video & uploaded it to the web. Prof Hung from Beijing University, the most prestigious university in China, criticised HKers for refusal to speak in Mandarin & called HKers Brit running dogs since many HKers still feel that British rule was better. Mainlanders take the myth that HK's economic achievement is all brought by the "love & care of China motherland so HK should be grateful to China". 6. You're a new university graduate & want to buy a flat in HK. You earn $10000/month but the cheapest 200 ft flat is $3 mil. You can't get on the property ladder as many mainlanders feel unsafe about their money in China & purchase HK's flats for investment which then pushes up HK's property prices so badly that no young middle class can now afford a small flat. 7. Jewellery retailers in HK only import them & sell them. The only relatively flourishing manufacturing industry in HK is food processing, 90% of HK's GDP comes from services industry, only 9% from manufacturing, & tourism only occupies 4.5%. Since there're too many jewellery shops in HK which is an already over-crowded place, rents + living prices increase yearly but the average salary of HKers has not risen much. Does the increase in HK's GDP really benefit u? 8. HK's population only 7.1 mil. There're 54 mil tourists coming to HK in 2013, only 13 mil are overseas'. The remaining 40 mil are from China, many are worried that HK's market over-relying on China leading to a rise in hotel room prices & stopping overseas visitors fm coming to the over-crowded city. This may result in the loss of HK's diversity as an international city. 9. Most importantly, every day u express yr anger & complain to HK gov. but they dare not say no to CCP. I once waited for a train in a busy station & can't board until the 4th one. HKers & mainland Chinese may be from the same race, but we are indoctrinated differently due to HK's150 yrs of Brit rule vs China's communist rule + the 1 country 2 systems policy which result in the current tensions between HKers & mainlanders. Many HKers feel the danger of losing their home & identity as HKers & many are now considering immigration. Garrett On The Road, Posted by: Jerry Garrett | August 30, 2013, Why Mainland Tourists Are So Rude? Pushing, shoving Chinese tourists are making a name for themselves. (Reuters) Apparently because they’ve never learned why they should be polite. That’s the conclusion of a blogger, Amy Li, who wrote an excellent, insightful column about the manners or lack thereof, of Chinese tourists for the SCMP. She says Chinese people are good people who tend to be rude because that’s how they’ve been taught to be; their role models are all rude. “Living in China, where the rule-of-law doesn’t exist, means everyone has to look out for their own interest,” Ms. Li writes. “It also means people have little or no respect for laws.” She quotes a recent research study that says ordinary folks in China have poor role models. “They're forced to watch their laws being violated every day by their leaders,” she said. There’s a Chinese saying “shang xing xia xiao” which means people in lower class follow what their leaders in the upper class do. Better-educated tourists seem to behave better but the older you are in China, the less likely it was that u received a high-quality education. “Middle-aged or older tourists who have been deprived of or received little education during China’s politically tumultuous times tend to act more unruly,” A new etiquette guide from China’s tourism board chides Chinese travelers abroad for peeing in public pools, chronic nose-picking in public, leaving footprints on public toilet seats (sit, don’t squat, please), & stealing airplane life jackets. But here are some general complaints: Bad Manners. Pushing, shoving & cutting in line is at the top of that list. This relates back to the notion that if you aren’t willing to assert yourself, many Chinese have been conditioned to believe, you'll miss out. There're also reports of really boorish & felonious behaviour, which is difficult to rationalize, eg stealing, vandalising & flouting social norms. Ignoring signs, warnings & instructions. Most CCP-Chinese tourists who travel internationally speak, read & write no language other than their own, the lack of education issue again. And they tend to come poorly prepared for, uninterested in or overwhelmed by the idea of learning to speak, read or write in other languages. They see a sign, they don’t know or don’t care what it means, they keep going on. Being obnoxious, abusive & unruly. CCP-Chinese seem to believe they deserve a special standard of customer service or value when they spend their hard-earned money. But the CCP-Chinese tourists tend to take it beyond acceptable levels. Many arent optimistic that the situation will change any time soon. CCP-Chinese tourists “have a long way to go before they will be respected by the world,” she quotes a tourism expert as saying.
