Best coliving spaces in Shanghai

Also known as the ‘New York of Asia’ and ‘Paris of the East’, Shanghai is the largest, most international and the most prosperous city of China. Being a center of culture and business and with an abundance of amenities for expats, it entices many digital nomads
here for coliving opportunities. Just like any other city of China, Shanghai also has the Great Firewall in place restricting access to a number of websites and apps on the Internet including Google, Facebook, YouTube Twitter and Wikipedia. Nevertheless, just having a VPN solves this issue for digital nomads and they can gain access to the entire web. Cafés, teashops, restaurants offering free Wi-Fi are in ample supply. There are now a large number of coliving spaces established here and the numbers of nomads are on the rise.
You will never be far from food in Shanghai. A local classic is soup dumplings – or xiaolongbao – thin-skinned dumplings filled with meat, vegetables, shrimp or crab and a delicious hot broth. There is an explosion of flavor when you bite into one. Shanghai noodles are a common favorite – usually served with meat and/or vegetables, along with soy sauce. The famous sites to see here are a blend of modern and ancient including The Bund, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, The Shanghai Tower, Yu Garden, Jade Buddha Temple, City of God Temple, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Disney Land, and many more.

The climate is extreme, the roads are crowded, pollution persists, but none of this makes Shanghai a lesser hub for opportunities and networking. Digital nomads love it for work and play – and the rise of the coliving spaces here is proof of that.

Finding affordable communal living in Shanghai

Finding affordable housing in Shanghai can be tough, especially in cities with high rent prices. One solution that many people turn to is communal living with shared spaces and roommates. This can be a cost-effective way to have a private room while still being able to afford rent in a desirable location. There are a few different options for finding a shared living arrangement in Shanghai. One option is to look for a private room for rent in a coliving home. This can be a good option for people who want some privacy, but still want to be part of a community. Another option is to look for a shared room, where you'll be sharing a bedroom with one or more roommates. This can be more affordable, as you'll only be responsible for paying for your own bed. The downside is that you'll have less privacy, as you'll be sharing a bedroom with others. You can find both accommodation options on Coliving.com. We can help you find a compatible roommate based on your preferences and lifestyle. Some hosts do background checks and eviction history checks to ensure that the roommates you're living with are trustworthy individuals.
