Planes, Trains & Automobiles

This afternoon, I left for a 4 day market visit tour to see what life in China's Tier 3 cities* is like. Checking out our itinerary, it looks like there's going to be a lot of time spent in transit to get to some of these smaller** cities. The trip began with a 6hr train ride to Wuhan..

* [Cities in China are ranked by spending power/quality of life. So Tier 1 cities would be like Shanghai and Beijing. And then it goes down from there, to Tier 5 or 6 I think, which would be like living in a village or small rural town. The fact is though, the majority of China's population live in Tier 3 cities, which makes it a very lucrative market for businesses to focus on.]

** [3-4 million people is considered 'small']
