You will be able to enter China on a tourist visa without issue, but you won’t legally be able to work. This law is commonly broken though, by many expats who teach English on the side (out of contract) or by doing random gigs like modeling as you mentioned. If you really want to come to China I would recommend coming here and checking it out and seeing what opportunities there are. Your English looks good and you’re caucasian, so I think you will be able to find teaching jobs, albeit not from major schools that ordinarily mandate that teachers must come from English-speaking countries.
The cost of living in Chengdu is pretty cheap though, I would say you can live on around 4k rmb + rent if you’re frugal.
