Yangshuo is indeed a beautiful place (except for crime), but in cities like Wuhan and Tianjin there are also students from all over China. Some of them are dedicated learners, many of them are not. Location really has nothing to do with it. Yangshuo is indeed not cheap, so why would FT's want to work there for crap pay? As for Omeida, I have heard good and bad things about it, some people like it, others hate the place. Whatever, it is still a training centre, I wish these places would just dissapear, they serve no useful purpose whatsoever.
