Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province made the list of the happiest cities in China in 2023 at the Happy Cities of China Forum 2023, which took place in Chengdu on Nov 24.

It is the fourth time that the city has secured the title.

The city, located next to the celebrated Taihu Lake in southeast Jiangsu, won the title based on local residents' satisfaction with education, healthcare, public safety, the natural environment, transportation, employment, livelihoods, and income.
