Surprising aspects of life in big Chinese cities (testimonials)

Ameerah Arjanee

Hi everyone, I'm a content writer for Expat Magazine, and we're currently seeking testimonials for an upcoming article. If you are (or have ever been) an expat in a major Chinese city, what aspects of life there surprised you the most? Whether it’s the city's urban planning, traffic levels and parking spaces, public transport and use of technology, variety of cafés and restaurants, museums and art scene, green spaces/parks, how cosmopolitan (or not) the city felt, or anything else. Thank you in advance for sharing your experience with us, and we wish you a wonderful holiday season.
