I just found out that it's not possible anymore. Most of the entrances have been concealed and the only way you have a chance of accessing it is to pay off someone who's house happens to be built above one of the secret entrances - most of which are in the Qianmen area. But I heard that many of the passageways have been filled up with rubble now and are simply inaccessible.

Tommas is wrong. I also heard that it is no accessible anymore. There might be one or two secret entrances left but these are off-limits to the general public. Plus why would you want to go there anywhere? It's unsafe, moldy, got rats and is partially flooded.

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
