I would consider the positions offered more than the cities themselves.

I have always preferred Foshan but that was when I was working in Guangzhou and wanted to get away from the city.

If it's about lifestyle, then Guangzhou. I've lived there for more than two years. If that's not what you want, then Foshan, more laid back. Money's about the same.

I have spent years in both. Gaungzhou is much more convenient. Bars. Western food shopping. Youll go often if you choose foshan. Foshan rent is far cheaper. So youll have a really comfortable almost western standard home. You cant call it inconvenient by any means but not on guangzhous level. Foshan is much more relaxed. Quiet. Just nice. It depends on whats important too you.

One disadvantage. Though it depends where you are. Transportation in foshan isnt the greatest. Most foreigners will buy a car.

I have a cqr so preferred foshan waaay more. My friends that dont plan to buy a car would prefer GZ.

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

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
