I went on a pretty cool Architectural walking tour with this Chinese dude that spoke decent English. Took me all over town to look at the "weird buildings" (lobby starts on 38th floor, etc). Was cool. Can connect you if you have WeChat. CQ gets old after a few days.

oh wow nice, yes lets connect 🙂

can anyone recommend good areas in Shenzen? must see areas? good for modern living ?

nthnjns 2mo

Just spent a month there. Apartments are a mixed bag. Nanshan (Talent Park station) and Shekou are the most livable hoods. Anywhere near the water/cycle path is ideal. OCT Loft area nice as well. Didi is cheap and plentiful so no need to be right next to a station. There's a 30 minute ferry to HK airport from Shekou with literally zero people at customs so it's easy for foreigners to fly in and out without ever going to HK. Bao'an airport 30 min taxi from Shekou/Nanshan as well.

yes, thinking of going to china, this time for 1 month in shanghai, though the internet/vpn issue is real, even with esim the speed is slow

My vpn works very well. I work for an American company and have remote meeting on a weekly basis.

Saw no one talking about it, but my home made vpn setup is really good, might as well share it in here : Vultr (sing-box) ➔ Hysteria2 / VLESS REALITY ➔ Throne (Clash Meta)

pranjal 2mo

Btw, for the whole setup, I'm at exactly 9.86€ month, with 120g 5ga and unlimited Vps/Vpn

athousandcups 2mo

you set this up on a vps somewhere?

athousandcups 2mo

interested to hear more about the setup :)

tomcoustols 2mo

Yes, Vultr! I took the first tier of their Tokyo instance! Been running really well

nthnjns 2mo

This could be useful. Usually these last for a month or so then get squashed. Hopefully it works out!

tomcoustols 2mo

been running fine for me since 20 days, will keep to update on it!

Hi friends, do you know if there’s a way to book a place for a month in china? The times I went I used booking to find hotels and that but I want to stay for a month and I would prefer to see cheaper options

limextapa 2mo

Just buy an eSIM.

limextapa 2mo

Loads of cheap 30-50$ options on trip dot com. Obviously totally depends on which city and which district. I find trip dot com by far the best site for booking all sorts of things in China, including plane and train tickets.

henryzhou 2mo

For local people usually use meituan or xiecheng

capygg 2mo

thank you

capygg 2mo

I would need a local phone or something? I can always translate if Its cheaper

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are looking for a place to stay for 3–4 months—anywhere is fine, as long as it’s nice and has a workspace.

Do you know of any good places for this?

henryzhou 2mo

Widely used by foreigners

nthnjns 2mo

Shenzhen. Lots of good apartments for rent on Trip.com. Book for a week via trip then negotiate offline with the host, they'll usually cut you a deal. Not sure what visa you have but easy to pop over to HK when you need to 'reset' it...

nthnjns 2mo

Book for a week via trip then negotiate with the host. It's safer that way because the apartment you rent for a month might suck...

cmart87 2mo

Does anyone have an alternative they can recommend?

limextapa 2mo

Just any eSIM works.

nthnjns 2mo

Shit seems to change every month. Just load up on data with an Esim and you're fine. Tether your computer to your phone. I used Shadowfly for the past two months and it was pretty much fine (would go down now and then) but esims always worked

tomcoustols 2mo

there are solution out there...
