English and Japanese teachers needed in a public school of Wuhan, the capital ofAn Introduction to WuhanWuhan (Î人), located at the confluence of the Changjiang (³¤½) and Hanjiang Rivers (ºº½) is the capital of Hubei (ºþ±±) province. It is most famous for its lakes. In fact, it is called ¡°the town of one thousand lakes" because once one reaches the east side of Wuhan, they may feel as if the lakes are endless. Wuhan actually consists of three districts that used to be individual cities of their own: Hankou (ºº¿Ú) and Hanyang (ººÑô) on the west bank of Changjiang River, and Wuchang (Îä²ý) on the east. Next to the Chinese traditional architecture of Wuhan¡¯s old city (built during the Qing and Tang Dynasties and mainly located in Hankou and Hanyang districts) lays the new, modern city, built entirely after 1980. Wuhan¡¯s booming economy is obviously represented by the never ending construction. Wuhan covers an area of 8, 406 square kilometers (3, 246 square miles) with a population estimated at 7, 860, 000. Besides the ever-present Han Chinese ethnicity, you can also find Hui, Ming, Manchu, Miao, Tujia, Mongolian and many other smaller ethnic minorities living or working in Wuhan. Wuhan is a city with both an old history and a thriving present. Artifacts excavated from ancient tombs date as far back as 3, 500 years. In the period of pre-Qing (770 B.C. - 221 B.C.), it was known as the cradle of the brilliant Chu Civilization. During the Qing Dynasty Hankou district became one of the four most well-known towns in China. Hankou city has been the center of trade in central China for centuries. There are many tourist attractions in Wuhan that are worth a visit including East Lake , Changjiang River and Changjiang Bridges 1 and 2. Wuchang and Hanyang are linked by this great bridge, no. 1, which is more than 1300 meters long and 80 meters high. The completion of the bridge in 1957 marked one of Communist China¡¯s first great engineering achievements. A second Trans-Yangtze bridge, no. 2, in northern Wuhan was completed in 1995 and linked Hankou and Wuchang. Wuhan¡¯s Climat Wuhan has a subtropical climate with four distinct seasons: Winter (November to February), Spring (March to May), Summer (June to August) and Autumn (September to early November). The ideal travel months are March-June and September-November. Travelers are advised to avoid the scorching summer period of June to August, and the cold winter from November to late January. Summer in Wuhan is well-known for its heat and high humidity and temperatures can reach up to 45 C (113 F). Unlike most areas in northern China, which have dry-heat summers, cotton clothing is recommended. Wuhan, along with Chongqing and Nanjing, are known as the three furnaces of China due to their extreme summer heat. Although the temperatures in Wuhan during the winter are not as low as those in the northern part of the country, the temperature can still drop quickly and suddenly. Therefore care should be taken especially when travelling with kids. In summer, the city¡¯s location beside the Changjiang River gives the city a specific weather shaped by the river, particularly at night About the school The school, founded in 1979 as the only full-time tourism and hospitality school subordinate to the Provincial Tourism Administration Bureau of Hubei province, is one of the earliest four schools of tourism sponsored by the National Tourism Commission. At present, its enrolments of more than 3, 300 students and its graduates every year to meet the industrial demands in China have fully justified the school as the cradle to foster workforces for hotels, travel agencies and other sections in the tourism and hospitality industry. Set in an ideal location surrounded by colleges and universities in the well-known Wuchang, Wuhan city, Hubei Province, the school is better accommodated, staffed and equipped than before with the aims focused on ¡°service, quality, employment, and qualification¡± for school development and ¡°Morality, Language Competent, Service Skill, Physical fit¡± for student development. It also aims at the high potential oversea employment market in tourist industry by training students with capable foreign language proficiency and on-job experience, as well as career planning.
