Guangdong is China’s most populous province and the centre of its export economy, so it has the largest foreign community in the south. Guangzhou and Shenzhen anchor the trade, sourcing and logistics scene, while cities like Foshan, Dongguan and Zhuhai each have their own smaller circles of teachers, buyers and long-term residents. The WeChat groups below are organised by city so you can find people who are actually near you.

Every Guangdong city we cover

What these groups are used for

  • Jobs and English teaching — openings passed around before they reach job boards, plus honest talk about schools and agents.
  • Apartments and rentals — rooms, flats and sublets from people leaving, usually without an agency fee.
  • Sourcing, trade and shipping — the strongest use of Guangdong groups: factories, freight forwarders, customs and QC contacts.
  • Everyday life — visas, banking, hospitals, schooling, and where to find what you miss from home.

How to join

Pick a city above to see what its groups cover. Then add the admin on WeChat (ID Registration-China), name the city and the group you want, and ask for the current entry fee — prices vary by group. Once your payment is confirmed, the admin sends your invite. Please read the group rules before posting: advertising without the admin’s approval gets people removed on day one.
