Hangzhou's Beauty is Breathtaking, But Living There? Hard Pass for Me.

These days, there are more long-term residents from Henan in Hangzhou than actual Hangzhou locals.

Hangzhou is a second-tier city.

Some say it's a first-tier city now.

You could live in the villages around Hangzhou where the cost of living is lower. That's what some foreign internet celebrities, like 'Yanglizi' (陽離子 - Cation), do. The countryside environment is great, and they have all the necessary amenities.

Thanks for sharing.

Haha, I feel pretty much the same way.

Oh, I've found a kindred spirit!

It definitely takes money to live comfortably in Hangzhou, like having air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. But enjoying a peaceful and beautiful life there doesn't necessarily cost a fortune. There are so many clean and lovely places in Hangzhou and its surrounding suburban counties.

Good point.

The West Lake scenic area is huge. The western part of the lake and the mountains beyond it are definitely worth spending a lot of time exploring.

Thanks for sharing.

I thought I was the only one! Today, I just took a short walk around West Lake, popped into in77 for a bit, and grabbed a bite. I had planned to visit Qianjiang Park too, but ended up not going. I was back home in less than two hours and was so exhausted I just conked out. I don't know why I'm in such bad shape these days, sob. I never used to be like this.

Hangzhou, stressful? Seriously? Even someone like me, who's not well-off, feels no pressure about settling down here.
