Not the best, not the worst, but definitely the most interesting, contrasting, and diverse, geographically, historically, culturally, socially. I'm hooked, when I'm not there, I'm just longing to go back. I'm here and I have this constant feeling that I am missing out on the action. I want to be there, lost in Guangzhou, looking out from the window on a bus to Shenyang, having hot pot with friends in Harbin, lounging at the beach in Dalian, eating roasted sparrows in Shanghai, talking to a stranger on a train for hours on end and sharing cigarettes, in awe in the middle of Tiananmen Place...

Dont know what you want to hear. The truth or a P.C. version where people only tell you the good points?
I dont think that most people have much of an opinion of China - except what little they might pick up on TV. Ask the people that have lived there for years... not just people who visited for a week or two and only saw the tourists sites - where everything is pretty and everyone is super super nice.
And I don't agree that China is the most diverse culture. That would probably be the USA. Since they get people from every country in the world there.

I think of the oldest and most diverse culture in the world. The music, the women (I'm a guy, let women think of the guys!), the scenery, the sophisticated big cities. I want to go there for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years and see, oh, about 20% of it!

Funny you say that. I recently went there and had a zillion preconceived notions. I was in Shanghai and I was blown away- hustle & bustle, clean streets, friendly people, affordable commodities.
Get outside the city and the standard of living drops off a cliff- but Shanghai was beautiful.

I'm a Chinese from Hong Kong and now working in Beijing. I love my country and no matter how other people "bad mouth" her, I would still be the same.
