Hmmm, aside from having slightly more Chinese influence and being friendlier, Osaka doesn't stand out too much to me. No idea about Busan, but I don't think so. What's so exception about Sichuan? What about Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia? The others are just regions, no more distinct than elsewhere. One could argue the Basque country or Catalonia are more different than Andalusia because they speak a different language. How is Liverpool any more distinct than Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol.etc?
Well, the thing with Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia is that they have people who have very different ethnic groups, they are so different you're right, and I'll leave that for another topic. When I said, Sichuan, I was just thinking about Han China. not the Tibetans, Mongolians, Vietnamese, Ugygurs, Hmong, etc. Just mostly Han sorry hehe.

Basque is different and Catalonia wants to even become independent of Spain, but the Andalusian people are said to be the most friendly, yet the rough, most loud and passionate people in Spain. For those same reasons that's why I mentioned Sichuan and Liverpool. Also, Catalonia and even the Basque culture are more closer to European.

Wait, I thought Kyoto and Kyushu and maybe Okinawa were the places in Japan with the most Chinese influence

Osaka I thought it was both Chinese and Korean influence. A good number of Osakans I met told me they were like part Korean...that they have a Korean grandma or grandpa or something.

Well there are a lot of Han in those provinces too now. Sichuan also has some minorities, and of course Han is a cultural thing. I've been to Chongqing, and I don't think it stands out as particularly different to anywhere else in China.

Again what exactly do you mean by 'wild' anyway? You mean acting more exuberantly? I'm a bit confused, I would think 'wild' would mean more remote, undeveloped...

Yes I think that may be the word. More exuberant. That is how Andaluz would be compared to the rest of Spain.

I think we're going with people & culture, because of the way he answered me below. I thought what you thought: remote, undeveloped...

So I listed everything in Canada north of the 53rd paralell, and then some. lol

in the Netherlands it's got to be the province of Limburg (South) or Friesland (North).

I would say Galicia, it is wild in nature and landscapes, the origins are celt and it is close to Portugal in distance, architecture and culture.

The rest of Spain is more like Spain. (landscapes, culture, etc)

Ceuta and Melilla maybe have some arab influence but they are Spanish cities in most of the aspects and I haven't been there anyway to confirm.
