The difference between England and China

I have been in London four months and I like it here very much.
I can't but acknowledge, London is better than my hometown from different quarters. Before I arrived in London, I thought about some questions about my life, for instance, why do I need to go to London and what am I looking for?
However, I arrived here and I like it here.
London's sky is more colourful than Xi'an's. I like looking up the sky. Sometimes, I feel very tired, but still happy. I have more peace of mind in here. I think that relates to the environment, such as, China has too many people, so traffic in China is more terrible than the UK. China has more pressure in life than England, so they are more frustrated than the people here. These all affect your mood.
But, I still miss China, as Chinese food is the best in the world. Chinese history, culture and language is the most wonderful.

    some errors:

    Be careful with translation. Most of the time it doesn't really work.

    "I can't but acknowledge, London is better than my hometown from different quarters."

    The first part of the sentence doesn't sound very natural. Here we would use 'I have to say...'

    Also, the phrase "from different quarters"

    we would say 'in some ways'

    'I have to say, London is better than my hometown in some ways.'

    "traffic in China is more terrible than the UK"

    Here we would probably use the comparative of bad.

    'traffic in China is much worse than it is in the UK'
