Q: Which western city is most likely to shock mainland Chinese?
Which city do you think would be most likely to shock or bewilder mainland Chinese should they travel there?
Seeing as there are Chinese people in just about every city, I would think that almost no place would bewilder them. I even know of Chinese people doing business in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Probably certain aspects of Western culture would shock them, as Chinese culture often shocks foreign nationals arriving in China. But I don't think any particular city would. Maybe, I guess, if a Chinese moved from a squalid, dirty provincial city in China to somewhere like Cambridge or Stratford-upon-Avon in England, the difference in appearance and social etiquette may shock them.
Any city in Japan when they find out that Japanese people are not all killers.
I bet a small town in Arkansas, or a somewhere on the Louisiana bayou would be daunting..... "We dont take kindly t'you folk 'round her'"

Oslo is a horrible place, easily the worst city I've been to...ever. I'm including Daegu ROK and Battambang Cambodia in the list.
rasklnik:
-It is a huge let down compared to either Copenhagen or Stockholm. Most Nords told me I should have gone to Bergen or Trondhiem. Oslo is anugly place full of immigrants. It looks good only from the harbor. Get up close and weep. And pay $7 for a hot dog and a coke.
south central los angeles at around 900 pm i think this wold scare the @@@^% out of them or east los angeles on whittier blvd
Chinese people I know who have been to Vancouver say they are shocked by just how Chinese it actually is. I grew up in terminal city and it still shocks me.
