Why TEFL Course in Zhuhai, China?

One of the most ancient civilizations in the world, China has been the exotic orient for the western world. Formerly known as the 'forbidden' country it has opened its door to a culture that is ancient but also keeping pace with the modern where 1.2 billion people call home, with bustling markets, huge cities and surprising open spaces.

"China isn't a country - it's a different world. Unless you have a couple of years and unlimited patience, it's best to follow a loose itinerary here, such as following the Silk Road, sailing down the Yangzi River, or exploring the Dr Seuss landscape of Guangxi Province. From shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the desert landscapes of Xinjiang, China is a land of cultural and geographic schisms. It's not that it has completely done away with its Maoist past - it's more that the yin of revolutionary zeal is being balanced by the yang of economic pragmatism". – The Lonely Planet
