Zhengzhou is cheaper than Beijing but maybe not as much as you might expect for a city in such a backwards sh*thole province (speaking from experience here). I don't know apartment prices as the colleges i've worked for always gave me one rent-free, but i'd guess a decent 3-roomer would be at the very least 2000 RMB per month.

Yeah, it's fairly bad. Grey polluted sky, dirt everywhere, full of the worst examples of Chinese peasantry. Having said that, i went to Beijing once and i felt it wasn't too different.

Of course it depends of the location in Zhengzhou city, but 2000 for a decent 3 bedroom apartment is not enough. Around 3000 RMB per month, not including "wuyefei" (in beijing this is included in the rent). Cost of living compareble to beijing.

Zhengzhou is like... think of an industrial center full of peasants with rude obnoxious behaviors (I mean more than in the rest of China), grey skies not from clouds but heavy pollution, rare greenery won't cut it in this concrete hell, oh and the local government is considered to be the most corrupted in the country.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications: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).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
