My favorite place in China. Best months of the year are April to October. Any who loves rivers, mountains, rock climbing, caves, rafting, etc. will love it here. Biggest reccommendation, buy or rent a scooter and go exploring! There's so much to see. I made a lot of Chinese and international friends while studying Chinese here (Omeida Chinese Academy: www.omeidachinese.com ) That made my experience even better.
⭐️ OverallAll 💵 Cost 😙 Affordable📡 InternetWiFi 🤬 Unusably slow😀 Fun good👮 Safety greatTap to open🌧 Feels 7° 45° 7° 45°AQI 46🚕4h$1,872 / mo×Pretty much near impossible to get by if English is your only language. Couldn't get a Chinese SIM. Experienced Racism in bars / clubs as the only Westerners in there. Bar staff disinterested to serve us and looking down on us. Beautiful skyline very impressive modern architecture but generally a nightmare getting around if you don't speak any Chinese. Wouldn't go again
