Obviously, expat life in China is not only about packing boxes and getting some paperwork done. The regular exchange with German compatriots is also an important aspect of the expat experience to get accustomed to the Chinese culture and people. InterNations helps you to get to know and exchange with other Germans in China, living in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and many other places across the country. Just visit our network of Germans in Beijing or Germans in Shanghai.

So, if you should ever feel like speaking your German mother tongue, finding out where to shop for German food or chatting about Borussia Dortmund's latest match, join the Chinese InterNations Community:

  • Browse our high-quality expat network to find like-minded expatriates from Germany or German-speaking expats in China.
  • Receive and share advice in our China Expat Forums – e.g. how to find a German-speaking nanny for your kids or where to shop for whole-grain bread and home-brewed beer in Beijing.
  • Browse the InterNations Expat Guide for China to find institutions like the local Goethe-Institut or the nearest German embassy.

From the snowy mountains of the Tibetan provinces to the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Huang He and Yangtze, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly German expats in China.
