I just try to google them and then surf the results to various sites.
travelchina.com forums have a bit of info as does virtual tourist but at times there is not much info about. I am trying to find information myself on some of the smaller cities because I would think there are so many wonderful places to see that are off the tourist path.

I've had the same trouble. The most up to date news I can find about my city is over 12 months old and the inevitable "there are no postings yada yada yada...." applied to each heading such as nightlife, restaurants, places of interest, etc. I noticed an advertisement in the classifieds asking for reporters from a number of different cities to write for this particular website so maybe the opportunity is there to become a roving reporter in your own city, submit articles, get paid and then everyone can read your opinion on the place in which you live.

Sadly they didn't ask for a reporter to provide info on my little village of 2.2 million so the rest of the world will remain uninformed. Exploring your city is limited to the confidence you have in getting around using the little language you know.
I think it all operates on a 'need to know' basis or an 'I don't care' attitude.

Here's your chance to become a pioneer!!

A:Someone doesn't count ...  Potential employer/Z visa sponsor will tell you that.Never mind, I just point that out.Your previous working experience can be considered, but it should be at STEM or at least at English teaching.Now, if employer wants you really bad, they'll skip that part and proceed with 'Working Permit' application issued by the .gov.School must convince .gov to issue a Working Permit. Once you have that, you'll proceed with Z visa application at Chinese Embassy in your home country. The other matter you should consider is a Native English passport requirement.You can score Z visa as a non-native English teacher only when/if you hold a degree completed in a native English country (UK, USA, Canada, Ozz, New Zealand, S. Africa or Ireland, I think.) ... and many employers are not aware of that, so make sure, you point that out on your CV! ... if you hold BA from a native English country ... ... and if you don't hold BA degree completed in a native English country, you don't qualify for a Z visa, i.e. you can forget about legally working in China as an E.T..This is an old Chinese Labour law provision ... since 2009 or even earlier ... -- icnif77
