The population of 242,958 hardly paints a picture of a bustling metropolis. Pu'an County is a remote corner of China's southwestern Guizhou province, divided into a patchwork of small towns and rural townships. While the high-speed rail line provides a link to the outside world, the persistent bureaucracy and harsh climate are a headache for those seeking an easy life abroad. This sleepy backwater is best suited for adventurous expats willing to embrace the challenges of small-town China.
