I currently live in Illinois and will be moving overseas to teach ESL in China. My exact location is Wuxi which is about 30 minutes direct West of Shanghai. Was wondering if you have any important information about possible places to visit in China or just general information that will help me along the Way.
Check out Dave's ESL Cafe. It has a Forum devoted to ESL and the China forum is rather large. You'll get a lot of great information from expats already living in China and teaching ESL.
I live in suzhou beside wuxi.From shanghai to wuxi about a hour by train, and here have a small airport, but no international flights.
Wuxi is a beautiful industrial city,people are friendly,food is good.I think safer and more developed country to live in.The infrastructures is good,have better work opportunity.
In China there are a lot of people want to learn English, so teaching ESL is a good job.

Indeed the Yangtze River delta is rich in history and culture, and actually people are middle-class or well off for many centuries. Locals usually stay at the region than seeking opportunites elsewhere, unlike the low skill workers from poorer regions of China. GDP per capita and Education level of Shanghai, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are high. There is a tradition to excel, hard working students are plenty.

I think students are pretty hard working everywhere in China, including in poorer provinces. The major reason Hunan is not as developed as Zhejiang, for example, is geographic location. Foreign investments simply do not go to Hunan that much and workers have to find a job in coast provinces.
Jiangxi is not really a part of the Yangtze detal, did you mean Jiangsu?
Yeah I mean Jiangsu, but North Jiangsu is poor, it is a source of rural workers in the rich places, but South Jiangsu is pretty good.
I am not sure if most students are pretty hardworking everywhere in China. But most do not have confidence to enter tertiary education or become very fluent in a foreign language. Developed nations' citizens generally have higher education level than developing nations'(china included). English education is a luxury in China. Only rich parents or schools can afford hiring western teachers.

Most students in China are very studying hard on English since their primary school, for English with 150 scores , as we can say like this, has a decisive influence on their collage entrance examination.
