PANDAS!!! they're right there!

Seriously, though, it all depends on what you like to do; history, outdoors or shopping. My advice would be to take a look at a city guide.

I can tell you how to spend TWO weekends out of Chengdu!

1) Go south and visit Leshan. Home to the biggest buddha in the known universe, it's 71m tall and carved into a cliff, like a gargantuan monolith. Leshan is a nice town too, hilly and green and very Chinese. You can try to fit in a trip to Mt Emei too, but that might require a separate weekend.

2) Head north to the Wolong nature reserve. It's a couple hours coach ride north of Chengdu proper, but the rewards are worth it. Thick bamboo forests, wild monkeys (trying to snatch your stuff!) and lots of other animals in big open reserves. And yes, there are pandas there.

Another good place to spend weekend out of Chengdu will be the Gongga mountain, known as King of Sichuan Mountains and located about 320 km southwest of Chengdu. It is the leading peak in the snow-covered mountains of the west of Sichuan with altitude of 7,556 m above the sea level, is the highest mountain in Sichuan Province.

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
