Yes, but your idea of avocados and the Chinese reality are totally different.  Here, avocados do exist, but they are very small in size, maybe shaped like your idea of a pear, but smaller.  Otherwise, they do taste about the same, and run under 10 Rmb each.

Sometimes, at places like Walmart, or at some street fruit stands you can see the ones you are accustom to, but thy are expensive, upwards of 60 Rmb, maybe as much as 80 to 90 yuan each.

Now, as far as buying them on line, I really do not know, never tried it before.

yeah, i've gotten the expensive ones but those aren't available anymore in Hohhot.

Yes, Taobao. Different stores have them. Many in English. I bought ten of them , all fresh and extremely  delish!  They ship it in a Styrofoam box so no bruises. I would reccomend other fruits, like cherries as well, Cheaper and fresh.

Also a note. I dont know about the small avacodos mentioned above, but i doubt youll get them for 10 yuan. id say 15-20 per.

At local Walmart store they sell from 7 to 8 yuan a yin.

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
