The distances between any 2 of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou on a map looks far greater than Beijing to Tianjin, or Guangzhou to Shenzhen, so perhaps Beijing-Tianjin and Pearl River Delta would qualify as urban conurbations in way that the Yangtze River Delta doesn't.
- zhte415 12y agoA fair amount of people commute daily from Tianjin to Beijing, so I think it is a fair comparison. The commute (train) takes about 1 hour (per direction, so 2 hours per day), and is good for people with offices/homes near the terminating station, but not so good for people that need an additional 1-2 subway rides to their office. One hour commute times are pretty typical for largish modern Chinese cities.
