Known for seafood and friendly locals many enjoy teaching English in Tianjin. Only a 30 minute train ride from Beijing, it’s sister city, Tianjin is a metropolis with 12 million inhabitants. With 4 seasons, great public transport and a strong western architecture influence, many teachers find living in Tianjin quite enjoyable.
The city is home to many parks, and boast an impressive Ferris wheel. Finding a job will not be a problem, but look for something that provides at least $1,000 monthly to cover living costs. Nina really enjoyed teaching English, and shares her story about Tianjin in her blog.
