Home is where the heart is. For me, Xiangyang in Hubei province.

Unlike all the odds...after all home is home.

Xiamen's awesome. The downtown (Xiamen island) is often crowded and full of tourists though...I live in Jimei, its connected with the island by 2 bridges...I live next to work and a small mountain...Not much to do but air is clean and I don't have to run into people every minute, if I walk on the street...Takes hour and a half by bus to downtown though, which sucks. I plan to stay here long, so I'll buy a car some time this year. If I have to move I'd probably go to a smaller city in Guangdong...like Zhuhai.

Scandinavian:

I can vote for Zhuhai. It has the added luxury of being able to easily go to Macau or Hong Kong for getting away from the car horns and the spitting. Amazing what a few steps through a fence can do.

I hear from various sources that Xiamen/Suzhou/Hangzhou top these lists.

Isn't it Shanghai, Beijing or other bigger cities? Anyway, I live in a very small town, almost an underworld town, but in the way I discover the people here, I start to enjoy it. Definitely it has a lot to do with my work, the kids I teach, their parents and the happiness to teach them.

I also live in a very small town

A lot of the locals now know me, and this is home for my time in china, and so i would say here is the most livable for me.

  Can't speak for the rest of China but i've lived (as in stayed for a period of three months or more) in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Liuzhou, Guilin, Nanning, Beihai and Yangshuo (not a city but i'll chuck it in anyway) and of these I found I liked Guilin the most. Beautiful sights, great and easy getaways. Great place.

Out of Beijing, Guangzhou, Huizhou, Shaowu, Guilin, Zhongshan and Urumuqi...I'd say that Shaowu was the most livable small city and had the greatest people. Zhongshan, depending on which district you live in) was the best city overall for transportation, friendliness, cost of living, etc.

There's a big difference between being young and old, single or married, loner or socialite, paycheck-to-paycheck or independently wealthy when you consider a livable city.
I 'very loved' Beijing when I was single and had an outstanding salary. Now I'm married with kids and would not consider a move back there regardless of the salary. Same with Guangzhou. As an older, married type with kids, I absolutely hate Guilin and am looking for an escape from this village. To each his own.

The place that is furthest away from you and the likes!

philbravery:

You started it

If you do not want to play          don't come here

Pretty simple really

We are all just waiting for you to get kicked out of here Again and to see what you come back as next time no

You have more reincarnations than Buddhasurprise

With the exception of your Question about bars on windows in  high rise buildings  

My useless Questions turned out 10 time better than your bestangry

and the only chance that this offering of yours will have of not getting collapsed

is the comments attached to it.

I find Hefei to be a very liveable city. It's a very central location and very convenient for travel and it's also much more affordable than Shanghai, but only a few hours away on the train. There's also a lot of nice parks here. Many might find it dull though.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
