Worst place I have ever been. Please Google it before coming here. Internet is horribly slow and unstable. You sometimes loose power during the day. There is trash and flies everywhere. Every building is either destroyed or in construction. The fact that you see so many "For sale" signs should be a clear indication that this is not a place to be.Chinese companies are building lots of new buildings around so I hope it will be nice in a couple of years.
