But it’s possible to connect the vpn to the WiFi and use without any restrictions? I heard that didn’t work well, only esim

nopiqueviajante 3mo

I’m planning to stay for a month working from there but idk 🤣 every answer in Reddit say something different

dominikd 3mo

Anyone in Shenzen? Just about to arrive there

camelliayang 2mo

camelliayang 2mo

I use apnetwork (paid version) pretty stable

warren 2mo

Anyone in chengdu? Gonna stay there Jan 4 to 23 to feel the vibe. Considering making it my nomad base and renting an apartment.

pravin 2mo

How’s the scene in Hong Kong these days?

Any offbeat areas to stay and restaurant/speakeasy recommendations

pravin 2mo

And curious if I need some Chinese apps to survive or English uber and stuff work there

7rulnik 2mo

Does anybody have ski experience in China?

camelliayang 2mo

Who will be in Hangzhou/shanghai in Feb/March?

tomjamesdj 2mo

Hangzhou, Feb

tomjamesdj 2mo

I’m going Yabuli in Feb to try!

tomjamesdj 2mo

Yes it is. I only have the VPN for WiFi. Because eSIM doesn’t need VPN.

diegocardenas 2mo

Anyone currently in Shenzhen? Will be staying in Nanshan until the 25th.

albertoryuei 2mo

Will be in Shanghai for all Q1 this year!

albertoryuei 2mo

You can do business but not work. Basically not getting paid with a "work contract" even if part time by a Chinese entity. You can invoice with your foreign entities to international clients and do business visits / etc.

jwjwjw 1mo

how long are you around?

7rulnik 1mo

I am thinking about area around Beijing. Chongli and Nanshan Ski Village.
Around 3 weeks in february.

But please share your experience!

Hey guys, I spent 1 month in China 2025. And it was an absolute disaster to have good internet for work.

Best place I could work was at Starbucks, but they only accept Chinese phone numbers to have the OTP and I was always relying on some attendant to help with.. some of them denied to receive the code at their number..

urielshark 1mo

With that said, how do you get around and have good internet to work?

urielshark 1mo

Ps: I had internet on my phone which I hired at Trip.com, but they don’t allow you to use as a hotspot.

marinafedorova 1mo

Hi! Look for another kind of cafes/resto… check western restaurants, I like atmosphere for working and have internet by login/password … like this http://xhslink.com/o/6tDXV97vAYw

urielshark 1mo

Besides that, do you manage to have a local sim where you can receive sms, or is it too much trouble?

camelliayang 1mo

are you in Jinan? That’s hometown 😂

marinafedorova 1mo

Nope, I read it’s long process. Plan later, maybe 😅

marinafedorova 1mo

Yes 😁 if you’re here can meet))

camelliayang 1mo

Amazing! I’m in Portugal hahah but will let you know when I go back!

dashaa 1mo

gaygbrccoulf xsxgoxdjju hey guys! I have some issues with Japan visa application, so considering China for skiing instead, waiting for you reviews 🤓🙏

7rulnik 1mo

well, I guess it's hard to compare.
My main goal: snowparks. Looks like right now it's one of the best and fine shaped snowparks in the world.

And Japan more famous for pow-pow days

tommycherry 1mo

Hey! Anybody around in Shanghai in a few days? I get there Thursday night, looking forward to meeting ppl!

tommycherry 1mo

Sorry just saw this ty for letting me know!

jmshome 1mo

I am going to Shenzhen and Guangzhou next week. MeetUp.com doesn’t seem to be active. Where should I go or should I just go to Hong Kong?

tommycherry 1mo

I’ve been told a lot that Rednote and WeChat are good ways to meet people. They have “English corner” activities frequently, which are public events you can go to for locals/tourists/expats to all mingle (and do a language exchange thing for the Chinese people to practice English and foreigners to practice Chinese). I’ve gone to some of them and they’ve been cool. Like 95% Chinese so far

tommycherry 1mo

This is for Shanghai, but I assume Guangzhou and Shenzhen have similar stuff

tommycherry 1mo

There’s also this thing called 搭子 where you make a post on rednote about what you’re interested in and finding people to hang out with. “I want a 搭子 or group of 搭子 to work out with at the gym” type of thing. I just made my own 搭子 post so I’m hoping people actually see it lol. Marking ur location on the post makes it much easier for people nearby to you ofc

tomjamesdj 1mo

Yabuli, Feb 9-13

tomjamesdj 1mo

Will do after!

tomjamesdj 1mo

My trip.com eSIM allows hotspot

jmshome 1mo

This is all really great, thank you!

7rulnik 1mo

do google services work? gmail and so on?

softail96 1mo

New to the site, living in Guangzhou. Any GHZers here?

softail96 1mo

Damn, I might have a hard time working in such a beautiful spot, Marina.

Hi guys, any one here uses Claude Code in China? Is it reliable with VPN? I will visit a friend for a week and need to maybe get some work done! Thanks for your help

7rulnik 27d

you need vpn with modern protocol (vless, trojan, shadowsocks). But speed and reliability could depend on you location and provider

Or you can buy esim on trip.com with singapore ip/roaming, not hong kong / macau one.
This one for example https://www.trip.com/things-to-do/detail/53873746?locale=en-XX&curr=USD
(usually it says something about chatgpt)

tomjamesdj 27d

Of course

amazingdavid 27d

Oh right don't know we have this channel.

Heading China for the Lunar New Year, any recommendations for places to visit in China?
I am looking for some indie developer community, I’d love to meet new people, explore and meet new friends!

Anyone there already?

amazingdavid 27d

Have you guys considered bring Starlink when you entry China?

amazingdavid 27d

amazingdavid 27d

Oh shit it's illegal

workanywherego 27d

amazingdavid 26d

hi all

Has anyone experienced some difficulties to get married with a Chinese as a foreigner?

I am not sure about if I can get married with a Chinese if I have a tourist visa..

tanbalb 26d

Thank you Valentin

tomjamesdj 23d

So I'm in Yabuli. Have been skiing last 2 days - my first time skiing!

Only $20 to ski for 3 hours inlcuding all ski equipment.

Tomorrow I will go for the full pass of the whole resort to ski all runs. This is $57 for the whole day, including all equipment.

Has been amazing so far but I'm only a beginner so I can't give much opinion on how good it is! haha

7rulnik 23d

Yeah, ski rent prices are surprisingly fine

I am in Thaiwoo right now, close to chongli area. Resort is nice, not the biggest but snowpark is good one. It has features for every level

$40 for 4 hours
$57 for a day
$87 for 2 days

7rulnik 23d

also it's a really windy area
On saturday it was -17 degrees celsius 🥶🥶🥶
But last days are nice

Will move to Nanshan Ski Village in couple of weeks

7rulnik 23d

please post some photos 🙂
And map of ski area please!

And couple of photos of a snowpark (if there exist one of couse)

dawids 15d

amazingdavid 15d

Anyone in Hui Zhou? Can meet up

amazingdavid 15d

Using Mullvad oh my God it is so slow on desktop

7rulnik 14d

it's better to find vpn with vless protocol

daveblogger 13d

Any of digi nomad experience too mamy dust in canton area in brand new building?

marinafedorova 13d

Welcome to China! 😁 Pollution and dust levels are elevated almost everywhere. Check your air quality in area

marinafedorova 13d

LetsVPN is the best for me, no device dependency

tommycherry 10d

In Shanghai, anyone around?

amazingdavid 7d

Are there anyone in Shenzhen?

amazingdavid 7d

Going to be there for a week. We can book a cafe to do some coding/work!

mohammada 2d
