Bayuquan is described as a 'small town' which gives an inaccurate description which is laughable. Bayuquan is large, modern and clean. It is part of a newly developed zone in China next to the Bohai sea with state of the art bullet train which services most of the major cities.

Sounds like a beautiful advertisement, lol.

Well, I'm actually visiting the place next month and I'll see for myself. I will take photos, post them up and ridicule you if it turns out to be a shithole.

Got friends there in other industries, that I know from when I worked in a nearby city. The say that the training centres can pay around 10 to 12k, but they are just training centres, so it is not exactly the best place to go to teach really. Would only consider working up there if offered a job in an industry that is not related to teaching.

However, regardless of the fact that there are indeed a few wealthy individuals around there, it's not exactly going to be as a developed as even the suburbs of Dalian, a few hours away. Even if there's a few new golf courses, it doesn't hide the fact that many people in local village are on a different socio-economic level. I'd even argue that some of these new development zones can get a bit dirty, Bayuquan is just a suburb of Yingkou which isn't a big city by Chinese standards anyway.
