Co-living bases in China

More than a room, less than an apartment. Five bases where community, fast internet, and setting are all part of what you're paying for — from $500/month.

Rural & Nature

3 bases

Deep nature, bamboo forests, and ancient towns — slower pace, cheaper rent, better thinking.

City-Adjacent

2 bases

Shuttle-distance from Shanghai — access to city infrastructure without city noise.
