Second, Birmingham City.
Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain, but there is still a big gap with London. If London is compared to Beijing, Birmingham is probably like Dalian and Xiamen (mainly because of the size of the city, the metaphor may be inaccurate).
The central business district is small, but the infrastructure and well-known brands are complete. A commercial street, a Xinjie station, a shopping center (bullring, mailbox), a city hall, a court, two churches, China City, an art gallery, a central library and Sea World, all of which can be connected by half an hour's walk.
