they didn't set the bar to high did they
Lishui is a small city, and always has blue skies. You don't specify where or what size, but Lishui in Zhejiang province is pretty clean. You won't find much online though.
I was pleased to see, in a country of zillions of cities, Chengdu at 19.
Until I realized Shanghai is 12 and Beijing is 29.
Is that a list of the biggest cities only?
HugAPanda:
ooops... it says that right above the list. Thats what I get before tring to read this forum before my coffee
;)
what a load of crap. You're telling me Beijing has good air. wtf are shanghai, guangzhou and chongqing doing on that list? I dont believe that for a second.
Urumqi is abysmal in the winter, great in the summer.
Sanya, Hainan..not on the list?!? I think that's where you find the best air quality- plus plenty of sunshine and clear blue skies!
The figures are environmental rankings and while air quality plays a big part it would only be one of many factors used to determine those rankings.
That is a list of provincial capital cities, not all Chinese cities. There is almost no information available about places with clean air; perhaps, because we would all flock there 
Northeast city like Dalian or Bayuquan is comparatively clean cos they are both seaside cities, I have been there and lived there for sometime, the air feels clean and the wind feels soft....
i know that worst air quality is in taiyuan shanxi province.......lanzhou gansu province and jinan shandong province but when it come to the best air quality i think haikou .....sanya and guilin guangxi province............but that what i read and what i saw because i visited all those places that i mentioned
