I've lived in three Asian cities, and they all surprised (I) on the upside. In the case of China, here's I like it.
It's modern and continues to develop all the time. They have modern (city), and excellent transport facilities, including their unmatched high-speed train network. They have excellent hotels, restaurants, and beautiful parks etc.
There's a feeling of safety and (free) in Chinese cities. There's no need to tell you what to do and you can see from the behavior of the diverse crowd. People just do they want. In most places no policemen (see). Do you know that police in China don't have firearms? They usually do their job silently and behave reasonably, (add) to the security and order.
The Chinese people are friendly. You will always get help even if you can't speak a Chinese word besides nihao , or they can't speak English. They'll spend time and go out of their way (explain) to you how to get somewhere, or how to buy train ticket. They'll (patient) and enthusiastically explain how to get what you need. They'll be positive and practical all the time while helping you.
