Caijia, China

With just 43,922 residents, Caijia offers little in the way of modern amenities. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache for foreign residents. While the language and culture may intrigue some, the remote location and lack of infrastructure make Caijia a poor choice for most expats seeking an easy transition abroad. Only the most adventurous and self-reliant should seriously consider this rural Chinese outpost.
