It feels like it was just yesterday when we started this project – a website to provide useful content to expats in China – but five years have passed by already. During this time, we have worked hard to improve our offerings, steadily growing into a big portal site with articles, guides, jobs, classifieds and thrilling Answers and Dating communities.

It wouldn't have been possible without your participation, writing comments, asking and replying questions, or sending us suggestions about how to improve the site.

We want to thank you all for following us by launching a blog writing contest where you can win a 1000 RMB Amazon gift card, VIP subscriptions to our dating site, and even the possibility of collaborating with us as a freelance writer.
