Tianjin is No. 1 again. This time is in The Economist magazine’s ranking of best destinations for business travel in China.

Globally, The Economist survey ranked Tianjin as the 68th best destination for business travel.

Other cities in China on list included Shenzhen, Suzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian and Guangzhou, ranking 71, 74, 77 79, 81 and 84 respectively.

The Economist’s Intelligence Unit carried out the survey in over 140 cities around the world. It accounted for cost considerations alongside environmental factors such as stability, infrastructure, culture and health care. These factors combined to produce a rating of 0-100 where a lower score represented a better business trip destination.

The per diem rate consists of one night’s accommodation in a hotel, one two-course meal, one simple meal, two 5-km journeys by taxi, one drink in a hotel bar and one international foreign daily newspaper.

The top ten most suitable destinations for business travel are as follows:

1. Vancouver

2. Toronto

3. Adelaide

4. Honolulu

5. Perth

6. Auckland

7. Detroit

8. Atlanta
