About WanderCN
WanderCN started with a simple truth: living, working, and doing business in China is exciting—but it can also be confusing, overwhelming, and risky if you don’t know where to start.
I came to China in 2018 for my Ph.D. and, like many expats, quickly learned that the real value comes not from guidebooks or generic blogs, but from trusted connections, vetted resources, and local knowledge. Over the years I’ve built those connections—across wholesale markets, factories, service providers, and communities that make life here easier for foreigners.
Why I Started This Blog?
Most expats and international buyers face the same challenges:
Which wholesale market or factory is reliable?
Which sourcing agent or freight forwarder can I actually trust?
Where do I even begin with bureaucracy, housing, or daily life?
WanderCN was built to answer those questions with curated directories, practical guides, and insider recommendations—all organized so you can find what you need in minutes, not weeks.
