It's safe if you aren't a Han settler or police officer.

Hi Ammia, I've been living in Urumqi for a couple of months. The streets are quite calm and I've never seen any violence of any sort during my time here. The big problem doesn't seem to be violence, but theft: pickpockets are a problem.

I can't say very much for the rest of the province, pesonally I'd be a little more cautious going to the south of Xinjiang and wouldn't travel alone.

The landscape, at least in the north, is really beautiful. I can't wait to get some time to see more of XInjiang.

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
