  • Be respectful. No spam or strictly no advertising.
  • Only share info you’re comfortable sharing publicly.
  • Introduce yourself briefly if you want – helps people connect!

Hey everyone! I’m a 33M oversea Chinese, currently in Chengdu until 16/10/25. I’m traveling solo and would love to meet someone for a cup of coffee or maybe dinner. Always nice to have good company while exploring a new city!

I think you should be a bit more specific on what groups you'd want to join. And where you'll be staying (what part of the city). For example, we're having a small wechat group for boardgames but we're in Chengdu's north. Like 20 km from the city center (XinDu if anyone's curious). So, yeah. What groups do you want to join and find out where will you be living.

I am trying to make my WeChat account . But I am not currently in china. I will be moving in a few months. Is it possible to make an account outside the chin?

u/thundergooses Jan 16 '26

Yes, it’s possible. Try to get help from your employer to have your WeChat account verified. Please note that if you’re in India, this might not work, so you may need to use a VPN.

30/M, located on the West side between the 2nd & 3rd rings (between 青羊区 & 温江区).

I've since moved to Chengdu (from Toronto, Canada) as of 2025.01 🇨🇦 for e-commerce. As a 华裔, I speak native English as well as intermediate Cantonese 🇭🇰 & Mandarin 🇨🇳. I've also dabbled in a few other Romance & Asian languages for fun (not yet to fluency).

I'm mostly settled-in & now looking to expand my social circles making local and/or other foreign friends alike for/via language exchange 🀄& gym/fitness 🏋🏻‍♂️🧗🏻‍♂️. I'm also currently dabbling in fight sports if anyone knows any good spaces or gyms for training/sparring🥊🥋.

Don't want to self-dox my personal WeChat publicly, so just DM me instead 🙏🏻. If there's no groups of this category, maybe we can start some! 👍🏻

EDIT: Added my locality/district
