Handan China

Welcome to China. Handan is in Hebei province, i should say that i am not that familiar with it. If you have any question, you can turn to your Chinese students, they will be happy to give you one hand.

An ordinary city in China.

I'm not really sure what a typical Chinese city is.  I've only been to Beijing.  I will be travelling through a bunch of different places in Sept. and Oct. so hopefully I'll get a chance to check it out on my own before I accept a job offer.

Is there any interesting architecture, or is a completely recent development.  I've heard it's really industrial, does that mean completely unpleasant with nothing to do?

I need some more detail here.

Avoid this city and Maple leaf school like the plague!!!

HAVE JUST MOVED TO HANDAN CITY AND NOT CONFORTABLE AT THE MOMENT ANY FORIGNER LIVING IN HANDAN WE CAN BECOME FRIENDS AM IN FENG FENG FENG DISTRICT

I have been contacted to give more details about my experience working for this school, so for the interest of anybody thinking about moving to Handan, or working for this school please read on...

I worked for this school some time ago, and it was by far one of the worst experiences of my life. Looking back now, I can see I was an easy target to manipulate, and was bullied by the "boss". (moderated) If your Chinese isn't good enough to socialize and make friends with the locals, don't think you are safe because other foreigners work at that school.(moderated: rude comment) You will know exactly who I'm talking about if you have ever worked there.


Handan is a very dirty city too, due to it's steel factories. There is nothing in Handan, it's a very boring place to be compared to other cities in China.

If I can stop one person from making the same mistake as I did, then at least I have achieved something from this post.
