This will take you to the Mini Program.
You can also search for chengduexpat+

As the Mini Program is new, it’s still undergoing some bug fixes, if you are logged out in between voting, please click log in again – and you will be able to vote for the next category. The app will be updated Monday 11th December to iron out this bug.

If you have any problems voting, please email us at info@chengdu-expat.com and we will do our best to respond as soon as possible. The Mini Program is new, so may still be experiencing bugs.
