Chengdu’s Best WeChat Groups

The top WeChat Groups guaranteed to keep you in the loop in Chengdu.

Love or hate the constant notifications and occasional spamming from WeChat groups, there’s not many of us that could survive in Chengdu without them because some are seriously obscene (The Yellow Fever group I’m looking at you) whilst others are a little niche (Chengdu Cat Appreciators) however they all play a part in keeping us up-to-date and entertained.

Chengdu Foodies

The focus of this foodie circle is to discuss food in Chengdu and share where to find bargains therefore now numerous restaurant owners, hotels and bars offer discounts in their kitchens for group members.

What we say:
This is undoubtedly one of our favourite groups on WeChat because you can get some real steals in some of Chengdu’s finest eateries and on delivery services too. However… it must be said, the real joy from this group is from all the foodie infighting: on the menu it says ibérico ham BUT THERE’S NO WAY THAT PIG WAS FED ON ACORNS – so you better know your foie gras from your fougasse! Also, hurry this group only has 40 places left!

What they say:

Chengdu Expats

A general purpose community group for expats living in Chengdu.

What we say:
This group was started a few years ago in Chengdu and is extremely useful if you want to ask general questions about Chengdu, find a hairdresser, sell your things, find an apartment – it’s a good place to ask to be placed into other groups or have someone’s contact card shared.

What they say:
Thank you for joining the Chengdu Expat group. The main goal of this group is to strengthen the expat community here in Chengdu. Get to know new people, share your knowledge, give your opinion, help each other out, etc.. but most importantly respect each other. Please use only English as everyone here speaks mainly English. Discrimination, ads, job posts and stickers are forbidden and will result in a direct ban from the group.

Feel free inviting your friend over and thank you for respecting the group rules!

CD-Expat Buy & Sell

A forum for buying and selling mostly used or difficult to find items in Chengdu.

What we say:
Living in a community where people’s average stay is only a year or two, there is a constant stream of people leaving. But equally this means there are always new people appearing hoping to set up shop, needing new things, so the market for second hand goods in Chengdu is great – this group is useful if you’re looking to buy or sell a bike, a coffee machine, furniture, your old HSK books and more.

What they say:
Well, Hello!  This is an English speaking group – Please use common sense and keep conversation on topic . If not, you’re out. Many thanks!

Cd-Expat Sports

This is a relatively new group for finding out about sporting equipment and activities in Chengdu.

What we say:
This group is strictly moderated by the Chengdu-Expat team and is a forum to ask questions about where to find facilities, equipment and a place to find out about sporting events. The best thing about this group, is you can normally find like minded people to go hiking, swimming or bike riding with. There is a strict restriction on 1 post per event rule, so it’s not too spammy!

What they say:
Well, Hello!  This is an English speaking group – Please use common sense and keep conversation on topic . If not, you’re out. Many thanks!

CD-Expat Jobs (No teaching/Modelling)

A group to advertising jobs, with the exception of teaching and modelling.

What we say:
This is a great place to look or advertise for specialist workers such as translators and artists, outside of the usual white face teaching or modelling jobs in most other job groups – it’s very tightly moderated. Note, there is another Chengdu-Expat run group that is specifically geared towards teaching if that is what you are looking for.

What they say:
Like with all Chengdu-Expat run  groups – Well, Hello!  This is an English speaking group – Please use common sense and keep conversation on topic . If not, you’re out. Many thanks!

Because China.

A group to remind you of the insanity that is China.

What we say:
The fact you’ve just read a whole article about the best WeChat groups in Chengdu means you already appreciate the wackier side of China. This group shares pictures, sights, memes and stories about the daily insanity that unfolds on China’s streets; a man dangling his baby into a tiger enclosure, an employee sitting in the freezer at Wowo on his laptop or the many Chinglish signs around Chengdu. Because…China.

What they say:
Nothing. There are clearly no words necessary.
