Guangzhou is better. Too hot in summer. But a fantastic place to live.

What does your age have to do with anything?

Age does have something to do with it. Young people want to have fun.

24 and working in Dongguan was a bit over the hill. Age is important in some professions.

Nanjing is an old city and beautiful in its own right. 

Suzhou is new and modern and expensive but closer by one hour to  Shanghai.

both are second tire cities. neither are perfect. both are far from your hometown. close to each other and have similar climate.  if your career path isn't too strange, you could choose either of them and it's not gonna make much difference.

On my first day in Nanjing, my first impression was that it seemed really dirty to me....After 2 years there, it was the dirtiest and most crowded and polluted city I'd ever lived in in china. The crowds made it far more stressful, dangerous and in china, I would say, more pretentious. The good things about the city just seemed to be more places to spend more of your money and that gets old and cold quickly. The historic places are worth visiting but that can be done just by visiting the city. I have never been to Suzhou.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has the priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your RP sponsor doesn't dispute your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
