I have heard many Taiwanese prefer working in Shanghai n places over Taiwan,
taiwanese companies pay less than other provinces'
^^
yes but apart from pollution, dirt, traffic, public transport, countryside and language what has hk done for us?
Fair point, but having lived in both, for me Beijing would win (I speak Chinese, didn't use public transport - I miss my bike - and having access to countryside wasn't a priority)
You know what, I love HK and it is the right place for me now (with all its problems) but Beijing (with its many problems) was just more fun. More interesting.
I agree, Beijing is a much better city (more fun, interesting, real, diverse,spacious,better good, better service, etc etc....except for one thing.. AIR.
I was in Beijing last week and the soot/pollution built up to about 1 mm on the hoods of all the cars in one afternoon. It looked like all the cars in the car park hadn't been moved in months. The pollution is so bad you can taste it.

China no 1!!!?? This is a joke list.
They must have shipped it all to Shanghai - http://www.scmp.com/news/china-insid...-hits-shanghaiOriginal Post Deleted
Might as well take away the government corruption, one child policy...etc..etc..
It is no longer a valid comparison once we remove any essential living environmental factors like these because each and every city will be "the best" without pollution, dirt and traffic.
My cousin's whole family lived in Beijing for 4 or 5 years, but then moved back to the US because, well, the place isn't that great, especially for their children.
