Shanghai Expat Guide
Enjoy your Shanghai Expat Experience
The "Paris Of The East" opens its intercultural doors to you, beginning with its attractions such as the Bund, the historic neighbourhood alongside Huangpu River and once the financial centre of the Far East,, the traditional celebration of China’s Qingming Festival, to savoring a dish of Peking duck & hot pot. The InterNations network is a place made for the Shanghai expat and offers insider tips and opportunities to ensure that you can make the most of your life as an expat in China. Our members are looking forward to offer their advice and knowledge from experience when you come across one of the many questions about the life as an expatriate in Shanghai, from ʺWhere can I take a crash course in Chinese writing?ʺ to ʺIs the smog in cities like Beijing or Shanghai a serious health risk?ʺ
Join our Expat Shanghai Network
Our members hail from Canada, Austria, Argentina, the USA and nearly every other country from around the world, all of whom are living the expat life in Shanghai, just like you. InterNations offers a platform with which you can easily meet other expats in Shanghai. In addition to our lively online community, our members regularly get together at our InterNations events or take part in planning trips together, e.g. stopping by China’s cultural destinations in the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Huang He and Yangtze.
