Anyone know what it's like to teach at either of these schools? Both are in Beijing:

--I may be able to work at one or both of these.
--> Or, in one of these locations (know anything about them)?
Jinjiang
Chengdu
Weifong |

I can't really say much about Jinjiang other than it's a city in Fujian near to the Taiwan Straits and shares its name with a national hotel chain in China.
Chengdu is the administrative centre of Sichuan Province and is a short distance from many areas of natural beauty. From a travel perspective, it would not be a bad place to spend a year or two. If you like hot, spicy food, this area could be a culinary dream come true!
As for "Weifong", I think the spelling may be incorrect. There is a smallish city in Shandong Province called Weifang which is famous for kite manufacture. The climate in Shandong is quite comfortable. The winters are not too cold and the summers are not too hot. Weifang is within easy travelling distance of coastal cities like Qingdao and also historical regions such as the birth place of Confuscious. |

Okay. I found them:
University of Business and Economics Beijing
Beijing University for Business Administration
Shandong Vocational College of Science and Technology: Weifang, Shandong Province
Zhejiang University, Hangzhou
Xinzhou Teacher's University: Shanxi Province
(and the other two schools I mentioned)
Any thoughts about these? |
