Further Information About Wuhu
It is important for us that our new staff are stable and happy, so we would like to point out a few potential negatives to potential candidates:
- There is little night life and bars in the city as Chinese people prefer to drink in restaurants. This means that people who like to go out drinking a lot will be disappointed with the social options.
- We are based in real China. Unlike Beijing and Shanghai, there are very few foreigners in Wuhu so if you just want to hang around with Europeans only there won't be much choice.
On the positive side the city is well developed and clean. There are some global supermarket chains in the city showing food labels in English, and large department stores which make shopping easy.
Although there is only one English-language TV channel, the company has a DVD library with over 1000 DVDs for the staff to borrow.
