A very, very small one. However, it is generally friendly and some expats will go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Lots of travelers come by this way too (in summer, anyway) and there is a strong couch surfing community.

Good to know!

The one I knew in another city was either bitter old men who complained about everything or young kids who just wanted to have fun and bar-hop.

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
