Englishmen and Germans, studying in Shaoguan, prefer this place, with good air and nice people, but the whole city feels old and far away from Guangzhou, and more and more people from the Pearl River Delta are buying houses in Qingyuan, which is developing well. Both of them are located in northern Guangdong, but Shaoguan will make people feel more remote and backward.
