Environmental problems is among their major concerns, too.

 

In Ipsos' report, Qingdao citizens are the most satisfied, with those who living in Qinhuangdao and Shanghai coming next, while Beijiners only rank fifth. Interestingly, all the top-3 cities are coastal1 ones; with more than 85% of their citizens feeling satisfied.
