Recently, the author found that the civilian natural gas in a third-tier city where I live is 2.78 yuan/m³, while Beijing natural gas is 2.61 yuan/m³, Wuhan natural gas 2.53 yuan/m³, Zhengzhou natural gas 2.58 yuan/m³, Hefei natural gas 2.72 yuan/m³, etc. Although the prices of natural gas in various places in China are different, the natural gas price in a third-tier city is no lower than that in first- and second-tier cities. However, among southern cities, Shenzhen natural gas is 3.1 yuan/m³ and Shanghai natural gas is 3 yuan/m³.

I have been sent to many cities and cities for business due to the nature of my work, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Dongguan , Qingdao , Langfang , etc., and have also lived in two third- and fourth-tier cities for a long time. In terms of daily living expenses, the feeling is quite obvious.

Fresh vegetables and fruits sold by large supermarkets in Beijing are of better quality than third- and fourth-tier cities. Of course, the price is relatively high, while the dishes of the same quality as those of third- and fourth-tier cities are cheaper than those of third- and fourth-tier cities; especially brands of clothing, shoes and electronic products, the same model is cheaper than those of third- and fourth-tier cities; for example, cars, the same brand model is generally at least 5% cheaper than those of third- and fourth-tier cities; while the general retail products sold by large supermarkets in series are no less than 10% cheaper than those of large supermarkets in third- and fourth-tier cities; entertainment categories such as swimming pools or water storms of the same specifications are even nearly 20%-40% cheaper than those of third- and fourth-tier cities; chain fast food restaurants operated by similar fast food products are also cheaper than those of third- and fourth-tier cities. However, the living costs in first-tier cities are much higher than those in third- and fourth-tier cities.

The author believes that the reason why third- and fourth-tier cities are relatively high: the goods flowing into third- and fourth-tier cities need to go through level 1-3 dealers, and the circulation cost of goods to the terminal is relatively high; the population of first-tier and second-tier cities is relatively dense, and the price can be exchanged for volume. For example, local products in third- and fourth-tier cities are relatively low in price.

However, living in third- and fourth-tier cities, except for relatively high prices and lower income, the living cost is low enough.
