Tange, China

With a population of just 37,074, Tange is a minuscule dot on the map of China. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache for foreigners. However, the city's raw, unadorned concrete architecture, exemplified in Kenzō Tange's iconic Hiroshima Peace Memorial, lends it a striking, brutalist allure. Tange is best suited for those drawn to the architect's modernist vision and willing to navigate China's complex administrative hurdles.
