If you could share with me your knowledge and experiences regarding the area, such as weather, things to do, crime, best way to travel, living conditions and anything else you can muster up I would greatly appreciate it. Any bit of information you can give me will help, I'm coming from south US and it doesn't snow here and the coldest it gets is maybe 20-30 degrees. It can get up to 110 in the summer. I live in a large city where the population is well over 1,150,000. Though considering china's population this may not be a large city over there. Maybe give a couple tips on what I should check out while I'm there.
