Hello forum!!
I am going to be teaching english in China and I am in the middle of deciding which city to spend a whole year of my life teaching english in.
I guess Im after a city that isn't a concrete jungle, that at least has nice scenery, like mountains, forests, lakes, and has a nice natural environment, also moderate air pollution, doesn't have to be perfect but at least breathable and you dont have to walk outside with a mask on all the time, also somewhere that has a decent number of sunny days, not too much rainy weather, and somewhere that is open and friendly to foreigners, also a city that just has that special "wow" factor, and it has that special buzz about it. I'm really after a great experience in China so Im hoping for a city that can give me that.
I hope I can get some great suggestions:
I have a list of cities that I have gathered from other research on the internet, please fell free to comment on the positives and the negatives of each if you have lived in any of these cities in China,
Qingdao
Nanning
Nanjing
Dalian
Xiamen
Tianjin
Hangzhou
(Im open to other suggestions)
