Got a great website serving your city, region, or province? Please send the URL to Raoul at yochinaraoul@yahoo.com!

That's Magazines sites
http://www.thatsmags.com/beijing/
http://www.thatsmags.com/shanghai/
http://www.thatsmags.com/prd/
The online companions to the legendary print magazines, with editions for China's most important cities: Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou/Shenzhen (aka the Pearl River Delta or PRD). Good listings of events, places, sources, etc. in their respective cities and across China. Indispensable for any expat living in China. Highly recommended

City Weekend Magazines sites
http://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 Beijinger
http://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 recommended

Shanghai Expat
http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/index.php
An 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.

Guangzhou Expat
http://guangzhou.asiaxpat.com/
One of the excellent AsiaXpat sites, this place has job listings, articles, an advice forum, restaurant reviews (critical in one of the world's great food cities!) and much more information to help you navigate the Guangzhou region.

Hefei Expat
http://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/

A beautiful and useful site from that lovely city in the Yunnan mountains. A rather quiet little forum, and good coverage of the city and its lively expat community.
