Qihang English Training School
Experience Real China!
What Qihang and Tongren Offer:
Tongren has approximately 250,000 people. Tongren is a rural city in the Karst Mountains with little Western influence. The countryside is a 10-minute bike ride out of town. The city is pedestrian friendly and inexpensive. Foreigners are not a common sight for local people. Older people will often stare, and children will point and giggle.
Foreigners are low in numbers.
Most people do not speak English but are generally very friendly and want to help you. Many people speak the local dialect that is different from the standard Mandarin Chinese.
This position is very rewarding for someone who wants to experience the real China. Unlike Shanghai, Chengdu, or Beijing, Tongren has few places that will seem just like your home country. The language and cultural situation provides many benefits, but it also poses many challenges. An open mind and willingness to try new things go along way. Please note these things when considering this position.
