City Weekend Magazines siteshttp://www.cityweekend.com.cn/en/beijing/ (Beijing)
http://www.cityweekend.com.cn/en/shanghai/ (Shanghai)
A bit like the That's sites above but more tightly focused on their two respective cities. Good places to get a handle on where and what in either Beijing or Shanghai.
The Beijingerhttp://www.thebeijinger.com/Just an outstanding site, with everything you'd expect or want in a local site. In fact, possibly the best local site currently going in China. And I am in no way influenced by the fact that my cherished brother and partner, Nolefan, is an Admin there.
Highly recommendedShanghai Expathttp://www.shanghaiexpat.com/index.phpAn outstanding collection of information, articles, and community centering on that great big city on the Huangpu. A bit of a slow server but worth the wait- well-structured and information-rich. Their Jobs/Careers area is especially noteworthy.
Tianjin Expatshttp://www.tianjinexpats.net/If you want to get funky, and you're in Tianjin, then this is the the place to be. Event listings, classifieds, a forum, and just a whole heap of local info and guidance for the Tianjin area. Managed by our own Brother Nate M, so ya know it's gotta be good.

Jinan Livehttp://www.jinanlive.com/index.htmlOK, let's face it: You live in Jinan. What the hell, might as well go online. If anything ever moves out there, Jinan Live will cover it for you. Note: Jinan is really OK as cities go. They're just not very selective about who they let live there...

Hefei Expathttp://www.hefeiexpat.com/forum/Hefei has its own website! Not sure why. But seriously, if it's in Hefei, and worth knowing about, this site gots ya covered. Thanks again, Nate. It's back after some time down, but pretty much a local forum now.
Wuhan Expat (contributed by dawgstarman)
http://www.wuhantime.com/At last, a pretty good website for the big hot city on the Yangzi. All kinds of city info and a lively forum. Was down a while but now it's back, and it's quickly evolved into one of the better local sites I've encountered.
