Brutal Truth: Just Hit Hangzhou & The Main Streets Are...

Thanks, got it.

Without the social security contributions you're paying, how could the elderly enjoy their comfortable retirement?
-
And without the contributions of the older generation when they were young, we wouldn't have the standard of living we do today.
-
So, which developed, civilized city with high wages, a good environment, and low living costs also offers plenty of job opportunities? Recommendations, please. Don't just criticize without offering solutions.

Shenzhen.

I quit my job without another lined up and came to Hangzhou alone by train in mid-May. But I had already secured a new position. Now I live in company-provided housing (an apartment in a residential complex, nice environment), and it's about a 9-minute electric scooter ride to work. I work 9 AM to 6 PM with a 1.5-hour lunch break, have afternoon tea once a week, and our department has a fridge and microwave, so I bring my own lunch. Life is pretty regular, which is great.

Sounds great, I'm envious! Keep it up!

It's thanks to us 'beasts of burden'—the working class—that elderly folks who didn't contribute to social security can still have a happy retirement.

West Lake was just okay. My overall impression of Hangzhou is pretty average.
