With a population of 453,054, Gaoping is hardly the idyllic rural retreat many foreigners imagine. The city is best known as the birthplace of a legendary ancient figure, but the reality on the ground is a persistent bureaucratic headache. The hilly Sheep's Head Mountains may offer scenic beauty, but the climate can be harsh. Overall, this is a city better suited for those with a deep appreciation of Chinese history than globe-trotting expats seeking an easy life abroad.
