Baotou is a small city of aprx 1 million people along the rail line of Beijing to Yinchuan and on. It is a rather dirty little city with not a lot of western amenities if that is important to you. Also there is limited local sites to see. There is a huge Hui or Muslim population there which does add to the charm of the area. The mutton is great and so is the beef.

Personally I would advoid EF schools and I would also add Aston, Kids Castle and SHane Schools as they are all profit at the expensive of the teachers. Yo can many posting here about these chains of schools.
