The population of 874,444 may seem sizable, but Chenghai is no cosmopolitan hub. This district of Shantou is an industrial powerhouse, dominating China's toy and textile exports. However, the persistent bureaucracy is a headache, and the subtropical climate brings heavy rainfall and humid summers. Chenghai's economy may thrive, but those seeking an easy, carefree expat life would do better elsewhere.
