As we all know, large cities tend to have richer resources and broader development space, but they are also accompanied by problems such as dense population, traffic congestion, and high housing prices. In contrast, small cities, despite their small size, are attracting more and more people to settle down because of their pleasant living environment and relaxed pace of life. Tongliao is such a small city, although it is located in the northern interior, it has become the only "permanently livable city" in China with its unique charm.
First of all, Tongliao's superior climate is one of the important reasons why it is a livable city. As a typical temperate continental climate city, Tongliao has four distinct seasons and a relatively regular climate change. Although the winter is cold, it is rarely affected by strong winds and cold snaps, which makes the cold feeling relatively mild. Summers are scorching for shorter periods of time and overall milder temperatures, allowing people to spend most of their time comfortably. Such climatic characteristics make Tongliao a rare city in the north with obvious changes in the four seasons and a pleasant climate, whether it is a walk under the warm sun in winter or a morning jog in the early morning in summer, people can feel the beauty of nature.
Secondly, the good ecological environment of Tongliao is also an attractive place. Due to the dry climate environment, the content of free oxygen ions in the air of Tongliao is very high, reaching 12,000-15,000 per cubic centimeter, which is one of the highest levels in the country. Negative oxygen ions have the functions of purifying the air and destroying pathogenic bacteria, which have an important impact on human health. This also explains why the residents of Tongliao have good physique and strong resistance. In addition, Tongliao is home to the Hohe Lake Wetland Park, the largest constructed wetland in Asia, which provides the city with a large amount of oxygen and purifies the city's ecological environment. Living in such an environment allows people to enjoy pure air and natural beauty.
The soothing pace of life is another important feature of Tongliao's livability. Compared with the busy and crowded cities of big cities, the pace of life in Tongliao is relatively slow, the work intensity is moderate, and the pressure of life is relatively small. Compared with the big cities on the southeast coast, Tongliao has less pressure on job competition, and housing prices are not as troublesome as those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Tongliao has a relatively small population, a wide urban area, a relatively low population density, and less road traffic pressure. This makes Tongliao a livable city that is free from congestion and busyness.
In addition, Tongliao's public service facilities are also very complete, providing residents with a good living guarantee. Educational, medical, commercial, recreational, sports and other facilities are well equipped to meet the various needs of citizens. The enrollment system of key primary and secondary schools can ensure that children have a good learning environment. The city's large shopping malls and entertainment venues, as well as numerous leisure plazas, offer residents a variety of pastimes. The public transport system covers the whole city, making it convenient for citizens to get around. These complete public service facilities ensure the basic living needs of residents, and make Tongliao an efficient and orderly city.
In general, Tongliao has become the only "permanently livable city" in China due to its superior climate, good ecological environment, soothing pace of life and complete public service facilities. This small northern city combines the beauty of nature with the elegance of people, providing a comfortable and pleasant living environment. With urban development and increasing demand for a livable environment, smaller cities like Tongliao will usher in better development opportunities and provide more people with options to live and work in peace and contentment.
Although Tongliao is rated as a "permanently livable city", livability is not limited to one city, and everyone's definition of livability is slightly different. For some, the opportunities and diverse resources of big cities are what attract them; For others, the livable environment and comfortable pace of life in a small city are more in line with their needs. Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about quality of life and physical and mental health, and they are willing to find their ideal lifestyle in a small city. So judging which city is the most livable is based on individual needs and preferences. Different people have different pursuits and values, and only by finding a city that suits them can they truly enjoy a livable life.
