About Shanghai and Qingpu

Shanghai is the definition of a megacity, and home to one of the country’s most international communities. Many foreigners came here because they wanted to teach English in China. As a commercial and cultural center, it rivals the likes of Paris and New York with a uniquely Chinese take on international success.

The district of Qingpu, where the school is located, allows for a superb quality of life. Qingpu has most of the amenities of downtown Shanghai but has a slower pace and a more Chinese ‘feel’. Living downtown can often feel like you are in just another western city, but Qingpu never lets you forget you are living in China.

Many foreign staff members have chosen to make a cute, developing 500 year old canal town called Zhujiajiao, 12 kilometers to the west, their home. 

The cost of living in either suburban town is 30-40 percent cheaper than it is living downtown. While you teach English in China you’ll have more money left to travel around the country and nearby countries, pay off student loans, or start a nest egg.
