Jiangsu province city in the Yangtze River Delta — anchored by deep industrial-manufacturing density (locomotives, solar panels, generic pharmaceuticals). The Tianning district and Wujin are the modern commercial cores; Tianning Temple is the historical anchor. China has no formal DNV; L-visa or transit waivers. The structural draws are Shanghai-Nanjing HSR corridor position (45min each direction), industrial-supply-chain employment density, and meaningfully sub-Shanghai costs.

China expanded visa policy significantly in 2024-2025 — 30-day visa-free entry for ~38 western passports (US, UK, EU, Canada, Japan, Australia/NZ via separate program), plus 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit at major airports. No formal nomad visa exists — Z visa or work permit required for any genuine long-term stay. Visa runs from Hong Kong / Macau remain the long-stay workaround for those without sponsored work.
