This city of 3,180,884 residents is a transportation and industrial hub in Shanxi, but hardly a paradise. Changzhi's frigid winters, scorching summers, and history of pollution scandals make it a tough sell for all but the most dedicated expats. The city's bureaucracy is also a persistent headache, with local officials previously accused of covering up a major chemical spill. Overall, Changzhi seems better suited for hardened industrialists than lifestyle expatriates.
