The Qingdao city, located in the Shandong province, is truly among the most picturesque cities in East China. Its beaches and German architecture make it popular with tourists, while its climate and infrastructure attract foreigners, eager to teach English in China.
What is so special about this location?
Extremely livable
Probably, the very first impression you get is about the atmosphere, which is very relaxed here. Although, it’s a relatively big city (not in Chinese terms, of course), the pace of life is slower, than in megalopolises like Guangzhou.
Plus, living in Qingdao, you sometimes feel in Europe, because of all the German buildings in the Old town, and numerous coffee shops, shopping areas and bars.
Lots of fun!
Do you know the most renowned beer brand in China? It’s Tsingtao. Doesn’t it sound familiar?! Coming here might be the decision of your life: you’ll get to enjoy yourself, attend the famous Beer festival aka the Asian Oktoberfest, which is held in summer.
Such events attract thousands of tourists and are a great chance to meet someone from the Qingdao expat community or make friends with someone from abroad and show them the city.
Excellent air
Coastal cities are usually way cleaner and happen to be less polluted, than other places closer to the center of the country.
Air quality index in Qingdao is usually between 42 and 87, which is considered “good”. In January, it may seem slightly polluted on some days, however, it’s nothing compared to bigger cities.
Plan your free time!
Living here as a foreign employee, you won’t risk wasting your days off by lying on a couch. Thanks to the friendly Qingdao weather, you can spend morning hours at the beach from May to September!
The Zhanqiao Pier and Golden Sandy beach are the ideal spots. When you get tired or tanned enough, take a walk to the Mont Lao or the Zhan Shan temple.
Old German quarters are very picturesque with the local cathedral. Badaguan is also worth a visit!
Not too hot
Good news is that the Qingdao climate is very temperate and not too humid.
Seasons are distinct, but in summer the heat never gets annoying and heavy – average maximum is 28 C (82 F), while in winter it rarely gets colder than -3 C (27 F) in January.
Rainfall is relatively frequent – 12 days in July, autumn and winter are quite windy and dry.
Enjoy local food
Shandong cuisine is known for its exquisite seafood dishes and delicious soups.
Teaching English in Qingdao, you get the chance to taste a wide variety of cooking styles – typical for the province, like the creamy celery soup or sea cucumbers with shallots, famous Shanghai dishes and international food like meatsticks, you can try at Muslim restaurants in different Qingdao districts!
Save money
That’s easy because when you work in Qingdao as an English teacher, you can’t help being amazed at how much you can afford. The cost of living is very low in the region: a monthly bus/subway pass is $11, a meal at a mid-range restaurant is about the same price, plus local beer is cheap - $1 per 0.5 liter!
Explore China!
Another perk about Qingdao is that jobs for foreigners offer you both the time and financial possibilities to travel a lot. You can get to Beijing in about 5 hours with a $50 fare, to Shanghai for $77 or to Seoul for as little as $106!
