That's the first city I've been to when I came here.  Its filthy because the major product of the city or maybe the whole province is coal.  Local people look at you from head to toe and follow you then gossip.  Its cold there and most foreigners were black and filipinos.  Most people dont speak English only students can speak English.

Don't go there... it's like living in Mordor from the Lord of the Rings. 

 

It is on my Top 3 worst cities in China, at the top of the list. 

 

Number two is: Zhengzhou, Henan

 

You will regret it... wait... this post is 8 weeks old... I bet you are already regretting it.

I was there on business 2 years past, couldn't  drag me out of the airport, it was minus 20c outside. After an hour  eventually made it to the taxi, arrived at the hotel and refused to leave there. 3 days later left. Polar bear world this time of year.

A:Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in two ways: 1. 'Nobody is interested in your CV and hiring you ...'; or 2. 'Never, ever stop sending your CV to the daily posted job openings and simply disregard no-replies thingy!' It's wrong, to expect replies from the Chinese advertisers of a new job openings, 'cause Chinese don't behave same as western recruiters by replying: "Thank you for your job application. Unfortunately, you weren't selected at this time. We'll keep your CV on record and if new opportunity arises..." or something in those lines. So, the only remaining choice is no. 2. Looking for the new (non-native E.T.) position in my time in China was like a daily part-time job.  Good luck! -- icnif77
