I've been in China now for almost 4 years. I came here in 2011. I planned to stay one year and go back to the USA. The biggest attraction to me and the most important reason for staying here is that I felt very welcomed by so many wonderful people.

What I saw is a trend to give teachers more benefits and that schools now have a better understanding of foreign teachers' wants and needs in teaching abroad. 

First, nearly all schools offer a yearly roundtrip ticket, fully paid, for foreign teachers. They realize that the teacher has a need to go back, half way around the world, to visit family and friends. Chinese people in particular understand this need. 

Second, the schools realize that in order to get qualified, responsible foreign teachers, they are going to have to understand their market for such teachers. The pay is far more than that for Chinese teachers. As unfair as this is to the Chinese teacher ,foreign teachers are often paid 3-4 times as much as a Chinese teacher.

Third, In the USA, most professors set their own office hours when they are available for giving any required assistance to students. This is usually what I've found here in China. Each professor has his/her discretion over the number and scheduling of office hours.

Fourth, housing is often arranged and fully provided by the school . Most schools take care of housing as part of their package for the foreign teacher.
