It is an OK city.
Not great, not terrible. Beautiful women, lousy "bar" district.
I lived there for a year. PM me with any specifics that you want.

It's a very standard 2nd/3rd tiers city, very generic.

It's less fancy than Suzhou and Hangzhou, less cosmopolite.

Expect level of pm2.5 around 150 as the norm, with excursion above time to time.

People speak standard Mandarin, with L and N blended in one sound, so Nanzhou and Lanzhou will sound exactly the same for example.

There a few places to escape and relax : a hill, a lake with a park.

The metro system is all new, and works well.

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
