Shanghai Tops List Of China’s Top Cities, Ranked By Lavish Living
Last week, the Chinese news portal JRJ posted its list of [mainland] China’s “Top 10 Most Luxurious Cities,” basing levels of “luxury” on living standards (presumably for those in what could generously be called the “city elite”), “internationalness,” high-end retail and overall infrastructure. Perhaps unsurprisingly, in this list of ten mainland Chinese cities, Shanghai — long China’s most international city — comes out on top.
The list, as compiled by JRJ (translation by Jing Daily team):
1. Shanghai
