Nantai, China

With a population of just 56,478, Nantai is a modest town in China's Liaoning province that offers little to entice the average expat. The bureaucracy here is a persistent headache, and the climate is less than ideal, with long, frigid winters. Nantai's remote location on the Min River provides little in the way of excitement or amenities. Unless you're a devout Buddhist looking to visit the Nantai Temple, this sleepy town is unlikely to satisfy the needs of most foreign residents.
