Qabqa, ChinaCapital City
Follows China Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Living in this high-altitude town is a test of endurance. Qabqa has a population of just 52,500 and an average annual temperature of only 3.4°C. The bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the town serving as the seat of the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. While Qabqa is the political, economic, and cultural center of the region, the harsh climate and remote location make it a poor choice for most expats. This town is best suited for hardy souls willing to brave the challenges of life on the Tibetan Plateau.
