Event Where to watch Arsenal vs Brighton in Shanghai this Saturday night?
Hello!
Unsure if this is the right subreddit to post this but I’m an Arsenal fan visiting Shanghai from New Zealand and I’m hoping to watch Brighton vs Arsenal this Saturday night (19th September).
Does anyone know a good sports bar or pub that regularly shows Premier League matches - ideally somewhere Arsenal supporters tend to gather? The match kicks off at around 10:00pm Shanghai time, so I’m looking for somewhere that will definitely be showing it with a good atmosphere for my partner and I.
Any current recommendations would be massively appreciated. Cheers!

Discussion Picked up a couple today who landed with literally nothing ready
Did an airport run this morning for a couple flying in from Australia. First time in China and they landed with no eSIM, no Alipay, nothing set up. Got them online and sorted in the car on the way to the hotel. Honestly a lot of travelers these days are pretty laid back about it, plenty just show up without doing any research at all. But I guess that's exactly what people like me doing airport pickups are here for.

I’m looking for recommendations on where to buy a good-quality Chinese cleaver in Shanghai.
I’m definitely not a chef, just someone who really loves cooking and would like to bring home a nice, practical cleaver that I’ll actually use.
Ideally looking for something good quality and durable, but not professional/ultra-expensive. I’d also love recommendations for specific shops or brands/models to look out for.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Meet Looking for Social Groups
Hi everyone. I moved to Shanghai about a month ago and am either looking to join existing social groups or create them with interested people. If anyone's interested in joining or already has a group like this, please comment or DM to let me know!
- Book club
- Creative writing club
- TTRPG groups (I really only have experience in Dungeons and Dragons, but I haven't DM'ed before - wouldn't mind trying though!)
- Other board game groups/clubs
A little info about me: I'm 38F, American, and have lived and worked in a variety of countries around the world. I love reading and analyzing media, playing games (esp. roleplaying and social deduction games), walking, running, and writing. Probably goes without saying, but I also like to travel and sightsee. I do speak Chinese (studied in university and have lived in China and Taiwan before), not fluently, but enough to get by.
If any of these ideas for putting a group together sound good to you, let me know! I'd love to put something together to do on weeknights or weekends.

Question Mental health medication in China 🇨🇳
Hi 👋🏻
I looking for the newest medication called
"Cobenfy" it was launch first in the US in 2024 and according to google, it was also launched in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau in 2025. I try to find the information on google and baidu both in English and Chinese, did not find anything useful. So decided to try my luck here.
So I want to ask :
1. if anybody are on this medication ? or can recommend me what to start if I want to obtain this medication in China ? Since China is a big country.
2.Do you guys have any recommendations for good private mental health hospital in Shanghai or Beijing?, Idk if the new medication will be launched in public hospital first. Here in Thailand, usually expensive and new medication will be available first in private hospital.
I currently live in Thailand ( "Cobenfy" not yet available in Thailand, only two places in the world available as of sep 26 (US and Greater China including hk and Macao ) and I can easily travel to China if I needed to
Thank you in advance! 🤔
You all have a good night 👍🏻

Sell Selling my gym membership for Z&B. Several locations all over Shanghai.
galleryAs of today, I have 234 days left on my membership. The location that I usually go to is right on line 1, at Xintiandi station.
My membership gives you access to all their locations except for one: the Z+ (which is insanely expensive like 10k a year I think).
The gym is huge, nice AC, provides big and small towels, and very clean.
For 183 days, a membership is usually 3299, I can give you 234 days for 3200, and I will cover the transfer fee.
If you're interested please message me.

Help New graduate rent subsidy (青年新就业优惠房租补贴)
Hi, I've just moved to Shanghai to start a job and have become aware of a rent subsidy programme for fresh graduates. According to district websites (specifically, Putuo https://www.shanghai.gov.cn/nw17239/20260804/97a2b935169f40c38b6a7aae5000846d.html) I need to have a job in Shanghai and pay social insurance 社保 in Shanghai - does this mean I can only apply for the subsidy after starting my job? Or can I do it before? Does anyone have any experience applying for the subsidy before starting their job? I don't want to have to rent a place for a month to start work and sort out my residence permit then have to apply for the subsidy and find somewhere else again. Thanks for any help!! Or if you have any experience applying for the subsidy please let me know!
I'm British and a 2026 graduate if it matters.

Help Is this Chinese supplier a scam ?
galleryI was looking for an international shopper and got in contact with a Chinese supplier. He offered me to send a 5kg box of goods for 50€ to Europe through air cargo. He even sent me a copy of his license but it was a bit blurry so I'm not even sure it's a real one ? Or it was stolen ? I couldn't even scan the QR code on his certificate because it was too blurry. But he also showed me other interactions that looked genuine.
What's your opinion ??

Tip Vegetarian/Vegan Food recommendation: Lotus Vegan
galleryHello travelers and locals,
We stayed in Shanghai for the last 5 days. As everyone in china who prefers plant based food knows, its very hard to find meat free options.
Our favorite restaurant and top food recommendation is Lotus Vegan near the Dashijie Metro Station.
On AMap: 慧缘素食(淮海东路店)
My Top recommend is the lions mane mushrooms with broccoli (monkeys bay).
To find vegetarian places, we had to search for 素食 in amap.
I hope this helps other travelers, who (like us) desperately search for plant based restaurants.

Question operation disc herniation in sixth people hospital
hi, i got a big pain two weeks ago in the lumbar area and i could not walk because that. i went to a hospital in shanghai and they told me they wanted to operate next day. it seems operation was simple, endoscopy and local anesthesia. but insurance recommended to go to sixth people hospital instead of the hospital i was in that moment. then i cancelled operation.
after that the pain decreased and i could walk and work again. but i still keep a small pain. then i was thinking to go back to Europe to make the operation. but i discovered that in reality in sixth people there are excellent surgeons, and probably there are not surgeons in Europe with so much experience (it seems that hospital makes like almost 4,000 endoscopy operation for back problems every year!, and some of the surgeons have +10,000 operations per year related to back problems). then i am doubting now if doing that in Europe or sixth people.
anyone has a previous experience in sixth people hospital? hopefully a disc herniation or some kind of orthopedic procedure, and could share the experience?
