Q: Qinhuangdao, Hebei, what's it like to live there?

Hi everyone

Ive been offered work in this coastal city and before I accept I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any advice to offer as to laowei living conditions - such as prevalence of coffee shops, yoga classes, any tourist diversions to take in on days off, bars and clubs, supermarkets stocking imported foodstuffs, other foreigners to have a beer with, etc. Thanks for any insights.

Any specific concerns, just let me know.  Also it has a great zoo ... not cages and the like but a great huge open air preserve .. like Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Katet, it is actually a quite pleasant well developed level two Chinese city.  Coffee shops in relative abundance. Plenty of bars if you drink...just remember never to take an open drink... TESCO, Dar N Fa, other major supermarkets.  What you can't find, simply order from taobao.. they stock nearly everything.  It's on the G and M train routes so you can get most places in China in less than twelve hours. OK regional airport, just OK, not great. Bitterly cold and long winters, short spring, long summer-into-autumn.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
