Hanjia, China

Capital City

Hanjia is home to 7,081,000 people, but that population figure is just one part of the story. The bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with residents reporting lengthy paperwork and red tape. The climate is another challenge, with temperatures ranging from frigid winters to scorching summers. On the plus side, the city is a cultural powerhouse, serving as the birthplace of Confucianism and the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, those seeking an easy, carefree expat experience would be wise to look elsewhere.
