Yep, free wifi in the bus and free public wifi in the city!
Being developed doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a lot of skyscrapers. What's admirable about these small 3rd/4th tier cities in Jiangsu Province are their details of urban planning and tourist facilities.
Tell you where is the best spot to take a selfie
Alipay accepted in the cheapest eatery along small lanes, WITH DISCOUNTS!!!
I have not used any cash there except for public transport (No need to buy a transport card for one-day stop)
Tourist information centre inside the bus terminal of Yangzhou
Free drinking water, wifi, battery charge, etc

Chery Automobile has become the first Chinese automaker to have produced five million cars.
The five millionth, Chery's best-selling model Arrizo5, rolling off a production line on Friday capped a good year for the company in defiance of a market downturn.
Chery sold 50,540 vehicles in November, up 22.9 percent year on year. Its sales hit 252,439 in the first six months of 2015, up 17 percent from the same period last year.
China's total car sales rose only 1.4 percent in the first half.
Chery was founded in Wuhu of east China's Anhui Province in 1997. It took 10 years to produce its first million cars.
Over its history, the company has invested 30 billion yuan (4.6 billion U.S. dollars) in research and development, and has applied 7,308 national patents. It independently produces new-energy cars, engines and gearboxes.
It is now looking to the future as Chinese carmakers become less reliant on foreign partners and try to break into foreign markets.
"The next five yeas are a period of prime opportunity for Chinese automakers, as Internet technology combined with new energy solutions will bring a reshuffle to the world's auto industry," said Chery Ceo Yin Tongyue.
A joint venture between Chery and the UK's Jaguar Land Rover produces Chery's self-developed models as well as China-made Land Rovers.
Chery has exported over 1.2 million vehicles to more than 80 countries and regions.

Speed is good. No locals will use it I think, generally travelers. I didn't use it, 4G is faster and I have 3 Gb left.

New-energy bus in Shanghai
It was quite rare to find many new-energy buses in Shanghai during my recent visit last week, maybe because the total number of public buses in Shanghai is huge. (1374 lines by May 2015, more than 18,000 buses by 2005) BYD cannot be found, all locally manufactured brands.

Green Electric Buses From BYD Delivered To Malmö
BYD recently delivered two electric buses to Malmö, Sweden where they will be used for local bus services in Ängelholm and Eskilstun.
These are the first Chinese EV buses unloaded at CMP’s vehicle terminal in Malmö, Scandinavia’s largest car port.
“CMP has been working for a long time to position the ports of Malmö and Copenhagen on the Chinese market and these efforts have now been rewarded when BYD, the world-leading supplier of electric buses and taxis, delivers its electricity-powered buses to the port in Malmö. “
Johan Röstin, CEO of Copenhagen Malmö Port AB said:
“Receiving the first electric buses from China today is a significant and strategically important happening for us. It is especially pleasing that we are collaborating with a partner that focuses on sustainability and advanced green technology, something that is exactly in line with CMP’s own efforts.”
“We have long experience of handling and receiving heavy vehicles like buses and lorries, what we call “rolling goods”. This experience and the port’s strategic location make us an attractive partner and player for further transport within Scandinavia and out to Europe.”

Awesome!
Han Dynasty, I like the name.
China’s BYD is World’s Largest EV Manufacturer
We all know Elon Musk plans for Tesla to be selling “millions of cars” in a few years, but China’s BYD may become the largest EV company in the world long before then. In October, it sold 6,099 electric vehicles — more than any other manufacturer! For 2015 through the month of October, BYD sold 43,073 electric vehicles worldwide. More than any other single brand.
Sure, if total EV sales by Nissan and Renault are combined, the French/Japanese company leads all others- but not under a single brand, and remember, too, that BYD doesn’t sell in the US … which is still a pretty big market.
Unlike Tesla, which is committed to starting at the top of the market and working its way down, BYD has a plan to take virtually everything on wheels and convert it to electric power. BYD is already the world leader in electric buses. It will deliver about 6,000 of them in 2016, of which 300 will be manufactured at its Bus & Coach Factory in Lancaster, Calif. It has a fleet of electric taxis operating in Chicago and plans to expand its e-taxi service to New York City.
BYD also plans to build manufacturing facilities for cars and batteries in the US, according to Inside EVs. Lerner-Lam, the company’s director of eastern U.S. business, says that fossil fuel vehicles will be steadily replaced by environmentally responsible solutions. “The time has come for electric vehicles, and BYD is ready to meet the growing demand. It’s a very exciting opportunity to take technology that was developed in China—and leveraged and matured in large scale there—and adapt them to American standards, lifestyles and infrastructures.”
BYD is expanding its focus to include trash hauling trucks, airport and seaport operations vehicles, long distance motor coaches, construction vehicles, and warehouse equipment like forklifts. Tesla has big plans, but the forklift is well down on its list of priorities. As of November 2015, BYD’s e-buses and e-taxis have traveled more than 327 million miles in revenue service with the total equivalent CO2 emissions saved comparable to planting a forest of 581,678 trees.
For those not familiar with BYD, the initials stand for “Build Your Dream.” Elon Musk may dream of a fossil fuel free future, but with its ambitious plans that include all vehicle categories, BYD has dreams of its own and may yet become the biggest manufacturer of electric vehicles on the planet.

Besides BYD, I think there is also Futong which is quite big too.
This is fantastic news for the planet. We have been messing up our planet for far too long.
I hope the world quicken the pace of transitioning to EV (electric vehicles).
As better batteries are developed, I hope the uptake of EV will speed up, it is good for everyone.
Ha Ha. Only the Chinese can come up with such a name for a company.
In other countries, such names are reserved more for racing horses and music groups.

BYD Launches another Urban Mobility Alternative for Brazilian Cities
On December 16, 2015, BYD do Brasil – the Brazilian branch of green tech giant BYD Co. Ltd. – added yet another alternative to its electrified public transportation platform in the country, the urban bus K10A. Designed especially for the Brazilian market, the K10A is the company’s first 15-meter bus, and comes to join BYD’s electrified public transportation lineup featuring the K7 (8 meters), the K9 (12 meters) and the K11 (18 meters). Additionally to the new length, the batteries of the K10A are stored in the floor of the vehicle, making it more comfortable to passengers. The launch took place in São Paulo – the largest urban center in South America with the largest public transportation fleet in Brazil – to promote large-scale electric transportation, reduce emissions and optimize urban transport systems in the city, in compliance with long-term environmental protection goals thoroughly discussed at COP21 in Paris, concluded just last week with a consistent and comprehensive agreement on sustainable development.
The BYD K10A already out and about in the streets of São Paulo
The K10A carries up to 95 passengers, has five doors and also relies on the proprietary technology of the BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery, a fire-safe, long-cycle and extended lifetime battery which is totally clean and recyclable. Such battery pack grants the K10A a driving range of around 265 km on a single charge, enabling the bus to cover most public transportation routes in Brazil. The batteries feature a 6,000-cycle lifespan and guarantee of over 15 years of operation. Just like the other BYD buses in Brazil, the K10A features regenerative braking and highly efficient in-wheel motors, making it possible for the bus floor to be lower, greatly simplifying maintenance and significantly reducing operational costs.
Fernando Haddad, Mayor of São Paulo, and Jilmar Tatto, Secretary of Transport, assess the BYD K10A
The K10A will integrate a bus fleet – decorated with Christmas lighting – that will open traffic for vehicles at São Paulo’s Paulista Avenue on the two Sundays preceding Christmas, with free rides to the population. São Paulo already has a BYD K9 bus run by Ambiental transport operators, doing route 2002 from Terminal Parque Dom Pedro II to Terminal Bandeira, with excellent performance and greatly praised by passengers and drivers. The mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, showed great enthusiasm for the new alternatives being developed – "Testing this type of bus is extremely important for São Paulo, so that we can manage to reduce noise and air pollution. These buses will soon be produced in Brazil, meaning that we will have a feasible alternative to diesel buses," said the mayor. The city of São Paulo has ambitious long-term plans to electrify its public transportation fleets, following the experience of neighboring Campinas, which already relies on BYD’s technological advancement with 10 buses and one taxi – all zero emission – already operating in the city. The forecast is that the new bus will be running in São Paulo by the end of February 2016. With the operational success of electrified public transportation in Brazil, several other Brazilian cities are expected to adopt BYD’s solutions in this modality of transportation.
About BYD
BYD Company Ltd. is one of China’s largest companies and has successfully expanded globally. Specializing in battery technologies, their green mission to “solve the whole problem” has made them industry pioneers and leaders in several High-tech sectors including High-efficiency Automobiles, Electrified Public Transportation, Environmentally-Friendly Energy Storage, Affordable Solar Power and Information Technology and Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) services.
As the world’s largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, their mission to create safer and more environmentally friendly battery technologies has led to the development of the BYD Iron Phosphate (or "Fe") Battery. This fire-safe, completely recyclable and incredibly long-cycle technology has become the core of their clean energy platform that has expanded into automobiles, buses, trucks, utility vehicles and energy storage facilities. BYD and all of their shareholders, including the great American Investor Warren Buffett, see these environmentally and economically forward products as the way of the future.
BYD has made a strong entrance to the North, Central and South American markets with their battery electric buses, and lineup of automobiles. Their mission lies not just in sales growth, but also in sociological integration and local job creation as they have poured incredible investments into developing offices, dealerships and manufacturing facilities in the local communities they now call home, truly a first for Chinese companies.
