@ Turnoi: Indeed. But what irritates me is that some foreigners in an older thread about NC vehemently defend the place!! Without even having seen other chinese cities:)

Now, a city is a city in my book, they all have the same problems. But If i was back in China, I wouldn't go to Nanchang again, no quality of life there.

Hangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, Xiamen, yes....
