China is not just Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Tianjin, Chongqing, Qingdao, Xiamen, Harbin, Dalian, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Shenyang, Shenzhen, HK, Taipei. The second and third tier cities are up and coming strong too. The above Dongguan is an example.
Chinese cities are still not as saturate with private vehicles as the US and European cities like I though they would be. Thank god for that!
My grand parents were originated from a small village in Dongguan that's no longer there anymore.
Is Xian/Chang An considered as 2nd or 3rd tier city?
Btw, impressive development in a span of just 15 years or so for these cities
the speed of urbanization is amazing. Dongguan is at the forefront of China's industrializaion so it is natural for all people who live in the vicinity will ride along with the wheels of fast paced village and city development!
Does your family get fair compensation for demolition of the village houses by the Dongguan government?
Oh no! They migrated to Hong Kong in the early fifties and the original house was abandoned due to neglect. I took them back once and tried to locate the house just for nostalgic memories but all we found was tall skyscrapers and black top roads. Incidentally that was the only time I went into China till now but by next year onward I'll probably spend some time roaming around the country though.
