Pleasant climate, beautiful environment, and delicious food are the three basic criteria that make a city most livable.
Here is a look at the top 9 most-livable cities in China ranked by Mingsheng Weekly.

The average temperature in Zhuhai is around 22.4 degree Centigrade (72.3 degree Fahrenheit). As a peaceful and romantic city, it also has a very pleasant ecological environment.
Life in the city is quiet and relaxed. With the least population and low housing prices in Guangdong, the prefecture-level city is considered one of the best places for retirement in China.
No 8 Chengdu, Sichuan province
Chengdu is famous for its gentle pace of living. You can find everything that a big city has while enjoying the peace that only small towns can provide at the same time.
