Wonder why? Check out our list of the advantages of teaching English in Weihai!
Cost of living
It’s ridiculously low, even compared to Chinese megalopolises! A meal at an ordinary restaurant will cost about $2.97 only!
A pint of domestic beer is $1, a monthly bus pass will not exceed $15, and 1 minute of a prepaid mobile tariff is $0.03.
Monthly bills for a 3-bedroom apartment are likely to be around $57, the rent being as low as $296. Don’t forget, that teaching jobs for foreigners in Weihai usually cover these, so you won’t have to count these expenses.
Clean air
Browsing through numerous big cities in China, you’ve probably noticed, that most of them have serious environmental problems, especially with air pollution.
Well, this is not the case with Weihai, China’s most health-friendly place: here air quality rarely goes unhealthy or dangerous, being good or moderate most of the time.
Good snacks all around
You’ll find plenty of dishes of Shandong cuisine, which is one of the 4 great culinary traditions in the country.
Local food is fresh, rich in taste and copious. Main ingredients are seafood (as it’s a coastal area), peanuts, chewy maize, vegetables, and meat broths. We recommend trying braised prawns and sea cucumbers, fried carp with sweet and sour sauce.
Living in Weihai, many foreigners discover such exotic dishes as lungs in milk soup, pork kidneys or braised intestines in brown sauce, which are actually pretty tasty!
Outings
In fact, someone who teaches English in Weihai has plenty of things to do in the evening and on weekends!
The city is pretty cultural: you can enjoy performances and exhibitions for free, or take a stroll around the old quarters.
Liugong island and the fabulous Castle beach are just 20 minutes away from the center and a one-way ticket costs less than $4.5, so these are great destinations for days off.
Foreigners are welcome!
It’s fairly easy to find good jobs in Weihai for English speakers, that’s why many newcomers stay with the employer for a few years or even decide to settle down and buy some property here.
Promotion and bonuses are almost a guarantee, if you are hard-working and creative, which are among the most valued qualities here.
Pleasant temperatures
The Weihai climate is ideal for those, who enjoy all 4 seasons but are afraid of frost and harsh winters. Here it rarely gets too cold or snowy, thanks to the Yellow Sea and the fact, that winters are the dry season.
Another perk of the Weihai weather is that summers never get too hot. However, it’s often windy here.
Kind people
As the city is relatively small, there are not so many foreigners in the street, so you are likely to be the white star.
Don’t feel uneasy or embarrassed – local people love tourists and workers from abroad and are always very nice to them. In fact, teaching in Weihai, you’ll get a lot of Mandarin-speaking practice if you wish!
Lots of traveling
Weihai teaching jobs offer you many travel opportunities because the city is well situated and you can access major Chinese cities, South Korea and Japan in 1 or 4 hours maximum by plane.
The cost is also very reasonable (a couple of hundred dollars per ticket), that’s why teachers tend to fly away on weekends and holidays to explore Asia!
