Dingxi
8.2
Lower score (below 6)
The UN once described this area as one of the least habitable places on earth, and while potato farming has pulled it out of absolute poverty, Dingxi remains one of the most isolated and underdeveloped prefectures in Gansu. There is no tourism, no urban economy, and no international infrastructure of any kind. The social culture is deeply traditional rural northwest Chinese — extremely insular and not oriented toward outsiders at all. A foreign man has no realistic foothold here.
