You may be alowed to buy them if you have the money, but will not be allowed to export them outside China. That is, if you are caught exporting them you will have a problem in your hands. If not, well, just do not tell too many people what you have done.

Some antiques are classified as national patrimony, those are not allowed to leave China. This is common in many countries, it is not only China.

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
