Qujing, China
Follows China Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
With a population of 5.8 million, Qujing is a sprawling provincial capital that offers a taste of China's industrial heartland. The city's GDP per capita of 27,044 yuan suggests a certain level of economic prosperity, but the bureaucratic hurdles and unpredictable weather are persistent headaches. Transportation links to nearby Kunming are decent, with high-speed rail cutting the commute to just 45 minutes. However, newcomers should brace for Qujing's subtropical highland climate, which brings chilly winters and rainy summers. Overall, this city is best suited for those seeking an authentic Chinese experience, rather than an expat-friendly enclave.
