Linping, China

With a population of 78,180, this nondescript Chinese city is no tourist draw. The local football club, Hangzhou Linping Wuyue, may be the main attraction - they recently gained promotion to the third tier of Chinese football. But for most expats, the persistent bureaucratic headaches that come with living here will likely outweigh any novelty. This is a place for the truly adventurous, those willing to brave the paperwork and administrative hurdles of provincial China in exchange for a taste of authentic local life.
