There is a Law in the books prohibiting vendors to sell alcoholic beverages to persons under 18 years of age, in effect since January of 2006.  But as many other things in China, no one pays any attention to it.

The same occurs in regards to persons under 18 years of age drinking alcoholic beverages in public.   Or smoking.

As an item of interest, the only country in the world that does prohibit minors from drinking alcoholic beverages in public AND AT HOME, is the UK.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
