Our community in Shanghai is also very active offline. Our InterNations Ambassadors organize regular events and various expat activities, e.g. a dinner in Shanghai’s hippest restaurant or an outing with other British expats to explore the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Huang He and Yangtze. These activities are a casual way to get to know expats from the UK in your local community as well as Brits in China nationwide. Interested? Simply become a member and we’ll be happy to welcome you among our Brits living in Shanghai!
