- Regional Info:
- Tianhe District in Guangzhou is considered one of the best areas to live and work, especially for professionals and expats. It's the city's modern business and commercial hub, with excellent infrastructure, international offices, upscale housing, malls, and great public transport. The area is well-connected and offers a vibrant lifestyle with plenty of dining, entertainment, and expat-friendly amenities. However, the cost of living - especially housing - is higher than in other districts, and it can get crowded and busy during peak hours. Overall, it's ideal for those who prioritize convenience, modern comforts, and a short commute over budget or a quieter, more traditional lifestyle.
