With the largest population and the longest continuous history of any country in the world, along with over 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites – China’s got a lot to brag about.
Ancient history continues to play a big part in modern-day scenery, whether it’s the famous, age-old Great Wall of China or remote towns that haven’t quite caught up with the times yet. Chinese food is famous all over the world but it’s no surprise that China itself does it best. And teaching opportunities are plentiful and varied, with English as a compulsory subject in schools from age nine, and everyone from hospital staff to business people taking on extra classes in adulthood.
