Guangzhou is better. Too hot in summer. But a fantastic place to live.

What does your age have to do with anything?

Age does have something to do with it. Young people want to have fun.

Nanjing is an old city and beautiful in its own right. 

Suzhou is new and modern and expensive but closer by one hour to  Shanghai.

both are second tire cities. neither are perfect. both are far from your hometown. close to each other and have similar climate.  if your career path isn't too strange, you could choose either of them and it's not gonna make much difference.

On my first day in Nanjing, my first impression was that it seemed really dirty to me....After 2 years there, it was the dirtiest and most crowded and polluted city I'd ever lived in in china. The crowds made it far more stressful, dangerous and in china, I would say, more pretentious. The good things about the city just seemed to be more places to spend more of your money and that gets old and cold quickly. The historic places are worth visiting but that can be done just by visiting the city. I have never been to Suzhou.

A:Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law.  Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English teacher with BA completed in a native English country. I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree completed in a native English country at the first interview. It's a tough time in China at your example, IMO.  Most recruiters and hiring managers in China know only "ET must hold a native English passport ..", so your job application get dismissed right there. The other thing is, never stop sending your CV to the job offers doesn't matter if no replies. At my time in China (pre-2017), I'd send CVs to every offer posted daily.I've even disregarded advert's requirement 'native English passport holder', and ... I got a reply or two in a month time. Take the last paragraph as a rule! Good luck!   -- icnif77
