Hi Sasha, I just came back from Keqiao visiting my bf. Never even heard of the place before I visited there. Im from a chinese background and grew up in Australia. Loved what you wrote about the town! How long will you be there for? I will be visiting again sometime early next year!

Great post Sasha. Such contrasting views side by side with each other. I’m a little jealous of you living and working there. If only I could handle teaching kids english
