InterNations - A Place for Chinese in Christchurch
Ni hao to all of our Chinese in Christchurch! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Chinese expats in Christchurch? Are you looking for advice from other Chinese, e.g. which bars in Christchurch will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for Peking duck & hot pot?
You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Christchurch. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Chinese expats, coming from Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and all regions of China.
