The above data can be verified online, with a comprehensive introduction focusing on livability, health, and elderly care. It is a paradise-like retirement and livable benchmark city! Yang Kang, who has many world-class and national business cards! So is there anything more serious?
[Author's comment]: I used to be a foreigner and moved to Ya'an for 40 years. I am also a photography enthusiast and have traveled all over the country. In my opinion, some cities do surpass Ya'an in terms of comfort (such as Sanya) or some livable factors (such as transportation, medical care, urban construction, etc. in big cities) at certain times of the year. However, it is one-sided to promote cities as livable only when certain indicators are excellent. More importantly, consider how many days a year you can be comfortable. Moreover, the hard indicators for elderly care and health care are ecology, air, water quality, medical care, and climate, which must be top-notch. Other tourism resources, transportation, education, urban construction, history, consumption, suitable industries, etc. It is also very important, but the standards can be lowered appropriately. After all, the focus is on elderly care and health care. There are only a handful of cities that truly meet all the factors of livability, elderly care, medical care, etc., and can achieve the greatest common denominator. Come to Ya'an if you want a guaranteed quality of life and yearn for a paradise-like place!
