If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.
Lousy weather - cold, windy winters and very polluted. Hot sticky summers. Little to do aside from eating out and shopping malls. However, there is an airport close by and a train station - and Beijing is 2 hours away.
