[quote=BOBERT,357868]I don't live in Yangshuo and never have. I often go to China for holidays and use Yangshuo as a base because most people can speak at least a little English there. Yangshuo is probabaly the English language capital of China. I am often approached and offered teaching jobs as are many tourists travelling through. Yangshuo attracts many Chinese English students because it affords the ready opportunity to talk to westeners and hence practice speaking English as well as innumerable schools. Yangshuo has a large expat community but the quality of many teachers is poor. Many are not native English speakers. Most are just tourists short of a dollar and use it as a stopover to replenish their bank accounts. Many party accordingly. Every area in China has it's own dialect. Cantonese is largley spoken in Guangdong province but not Guangxi. If you want to learn Mandarin then Yangshuo has students willing to teach you from all over China.[/quote]
