Yes, I am coming to Jiaozuo to teach English for 3 weeks beginning July 10. I'm so excited! This region seems to rich in places to visit! I am very lucky. Can you tell me where the caves containing the 8 to 12-foot carved statues of Buddha are located? This much be fabulous!

I will be teaching Chinese teachers who teach to elementary school Chinese students. I want to bring them all a small present from the USA. What do you think they might like? So many things here are "made in China, " but I want to bring them something authentic!

I'm trying to learn a little spoken Chinese before I come. Do many people in Jiaozuo speak English?

What is the specialty food for this region?

Will it be easy for me to buy a hairdryer when I am there? How much might this cost? THANKS for your help!
