Schools in different cities provide different compensation packages to teachers. Many schools provide flight reimbursement, housing allowance or free shared accommodation, insurance, bonuses, etc. Schools with higher salaries may compensate by providing fewer extras.
Some teachers may prefer a higher salaried position and to find their own housing (with help provided by the school). Other teachers may prefer to accept a lower salary with flight reimbursement and free accommodation included. Either way, teachers will find it is easy to live comfortably in China with whichever package they choose.
