Nanning is also the poorest of all autonomous region capitals, provincial capitals and municipalities of China:

Which of these are tier 3?
Well, I have bolded those that I consider to be 1 and 2, which means that I define the rest to be 3+.

Your list underscores my point that capital status is only one factor when it comes tiers because a number of non-capitals certainly deserve tier 2, and Shenzhen makes a strong case for tier 1.

ETA: It seems that lists and bolding don't work well together. Suffice it to say, everything --except for Hohot-- above Wuhan is tier 1 or 2.
ETA2: It is hard to take official statistics about per capita GDP seriously for obvious reasons.
