Find Tips and Advice on China from German Expats
Of course, expat living in China is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Germans is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Chinese way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Germans in China, residing in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Germans in Shanghai or Germans in Beijing.

- Search the InterNations Places database for China to get information on institutions from your home country, including the German embassy.
From the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Huang He and Yangtze to the snowy mountains of the Tibetan provinces, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly German expats in China.
