1. Shopping and consumption environment (everything from large shopping malls to small stores)

Rating: 3

Comment: As a second-level city, Xi'an has only two intersections in the recognized prosperous area, one is the Bell Tower Cross in the center of the city, and the other is the Xiaozhai Cross in the southern suburbs. Since the government stipulates that shopping malls within the city walls must not be higher than the city walls, so Compared with Shanghai and Beijing, shopping malls in Xi'an are not large, and as an inland city, many things are put on the shelves later, ranging from DVDs to imported cars. Compared with the arrival time in first-tier cities, About half a year later.

2. Urban public facilities (including traffic congestion, city construction, and large public facilities such as gymnasiums, parks, schools, and hospitals)

Rating: 2 points

Comment: Due to the city wall, there are many one-way streets and places where right driving is prohibited. Foreigners driving into Xi'an will basically be fined. A friend of mine in Nanjing once said this about Nanjing, It can be seen that the city wall, a symbol of traditional civilization, also has a negative impact on modern society. So now the entire center of Xi'an is moving south, which is also the fundamental reason for the prosperity of Xiaozhai. There are also very few large public venues in Xi'an. The Xi'an Stadium, where Andy Lau's concert was held, and the library next to it can be said to be the largest public venues in Xi'an.

3. Work and employment environment (including average salary income, employment saturation, and distribution of large companies)

Rating: 3

4. Safety index (including both public security issues and local customs)

Rating: 4

Comments: Many people say that security in Xi'an is poor, but in fact It is very safe. The security problems in Xi'an are basically near the train station. There are very few security problems in the city. There are not many thieves in Xi'an. I have been in Xi'an for more than three years and I have never had anything stolen while walking outside. My friends There are cases where things are lost outside, but it's basically because of some stupid mistakes, such as falling asleep in the car, or putting your bag on a chair and going to the toilet.

5. Climate Index

Score: 3

Comments: Xi'an is located in central China. It is basically a watershed in climate. It is not as dry as Beijing, nor as dry as the south. of moisture. To put it more specifically, it is not as big as Beijing and not as rainy as in the south. I'm from the south, so when I first came to Xi'an, I often woke up thirsty at night, but once I got used to living in it, I found it quite interesting to live in a city with obvious signs of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

6. Price Index

Score: 2

Comment: If you don’t cook your own meals in Xi’an for a month, 1,000 yuan is enough. If you don’t buy them, For clothes, no girlfriend, renting a house, and pocket money, 2,000 yuan a month is pretty good. Food consumption, for example, in Xi'an except for parties, people generally don't go to McDonald's because it's expensive; but in Shanghai, people won't go to McDonald's for parties because it's too cheap. To give just one example from other aspects, the starting price of a taxi in Xi'an is 6 yuan, 1.2 yuan per kilometer, and there is no parking fee.

7. Exclusion index (rejection index for outsiders, especially people from other provinces, and the popularity of Mandarin)

Rating: 4

Comments: Xi'an people They are still very tolerant, and they all speak Mandarin. Although it is not very standard, Xi'an dialect is at least not like Shanghainese and Cantonese, and will not be incomprehensible to people who have never heard Xi'an dialect. What needs to be mentioned is that you should be careful when going to the suburbs of Xi'an. People in those places are very good at acting, very good at deception, and are friendly to outsiders, but they often hide their knives behind their smiles. They will kill you secretly and make you happy. I thought I was taking advantage.

8. Personalized city resources (each city’s unique history and culture, cultural specialties, and surrounding tourism resources)

Rating: 5

Comments: Xi’an The people are conservative and there are many traditional cultural places around. They are simple, but they are not without scheming and guarding against others. As the descendants of "Dafeng, Dafeng, Dafeng", Xi'an people are still somewhat ambitious.
