Teaching abroad is a great option for those who want to see different parts of the world while still having a career and a steady paycheck. China is the best place to start your career. Many foreigners are moving to China to start their teaching career because of many benefits.
Full-time teaching work in China on average will pay between CNY 6,200 – 30,000/month. Given the cost of living in China, this is enough to cover day to day living expenses, including accommodation, eating out, etc., as well as allowing you to save money each month to spend on traveling. You can use this money to go on several short breaks around the country throughout your time in China, or else save your money and go on a longer trip around China and other parts of Asia during summer vacation.
China is a vast country, approximately the same size as Europe, yet, before coming to China, people often fail to realize how many different cultures there are within the country. You could spend months upon months traveling around China, continuously learn, and constantly be surprised at the new things you will experience in each location.
Depending on where you are located in China, you have the option of taking weekend trips to various places around the country.

For longer trips, there a several Chinese National Holidays each year– ranging from one day to one week in length. This means that people with jobs teaching English have plentiful time to travel to various locations across the country. The most popular places to visit in China are Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guilin, and Xian. However, as a teacher working in China you’ll regularly meet new people who will tell you about various hidden gems across China, giving you the chance to visit the more ‘non-touristy’ areas in the country.
