Except for the slightly worse climate (the wind and sand are a bit strong in spring), Jiuquan is good in other aspects.
Prices are relatively low. According to the previous administrative division, it was a prefecture-level city, so the medical and education systems are relatively complete.
There is no pollution either.
Moreover, the people in Jiuquan are very simple, and there are many snacks, which are also very cheap.
The security is also very good.
