Jinzhou Medical University

Jinzhou is about five hours east of Beijing by train. It is another 5 hours or so to Dalian, a fast-developing city, also called the `Hong Kong of the north`. Jinzhou is a city in Liaoning Province, which is one of the 3 provinces that makes up `Dongbei` or the north-east region of China. There are 3,000,000 people living in Jinzhou prefecture. 770,000 of them live in urban areas, but there are several smaller towns around Jinzhou city proper.

Shenyang, the provincial capital, is a little more than 2 hours away. Jinzhou City lies half an hour away from the seaside and Bijiashan (an island dotted with temples in the Bohai Gulf that can be reached on foot, once the tide pulls away). Shanhaiguan, where the Great Wall of China meets the sea, is about an hour and a half to the west. Apart from Bijiashan, Jiznhou doesn`t have that many tourist attractions, which makes it a place where real Chinese culture still exists and it is often referred to by many expats living here as `the real China`.

Make no mistake; this is a modern city. Everything is paved. While some of the buildings are starting to show their age, there are new ones going up all the time. There is plenty of green space, too.

The reservoir that forms one of the borders of town is planted with weeping willows and has a beautiful promenade and park. There are a number of well-groomed public parks where the city’s residents gather until late evening. There are mountains for hiking nearby.

Downtown is busy. The sidewalks are full of window-shoppers. Stores blare advertisements and techno to draw shoppers in. There are vendors hawking their wares. Buses, cars, motorcycles, scooters, pedicabs, bicycles, and pedestrians perform a chaotic ballet at every intersection.
