Heh, its a small city then, almost everything seems rural compared to big cities in China.

Hopefully the taxes are not too crazy, something that Canada, and the US are famous for.

Property taxes are one of the negative aspects of owning property in big cities in most western countries. (its becoming common in China as well, the catch is that you don't have any real ownership, as the land is leased for 50-75 years at a time)

Its quite the contrast from the typical lifestyle in China.
