Q: Best 2nd tier city in Northeast China?
How do you think what's the best 2nd tier city in Northeast China? Why do you like it?
I'm not happy with the climate in the southern part of China, particularly Jiangsu and going to relocate somewhere far away from humidity and mould.
Its a balancing act. Super hot in summer or super cold in winter.
Why not have two bases. North in summer, south in winter?
Wei Hai city. A coastal city of ShanDong province. Locals from that region told me this March it was a 2nd tier city, living costs was a lot lower, not much business going, and peaceful. Ideal for retirement. Also, close to Seoul (S. Korea) if you want a change of scenery.
Both ScotsAlan and Stiggs are right though. Some retired mainlanders, especially the ones living in Beijing use Scots's method. They called themselves migratory birds. Winter, fly south. Summer, back north. Good luck.

ScotsAlan:
Ha ha earth. I am a worker. I am stuck in the south all year. I have a long time before retirement. Summer is way too sticky. But my job is here.
earthizen:
I know, Scots. Guangzhou isn't that bad relative to places like Henan. Summer, flip the air-cond on. Someone told me about two years ago the water quality was far from desirable. It was yellowish if you let it sat for awhile. Their family bought bottle water (those large bottle you find in offices) for home use.
Has things improved?
