So last Sunday my friend and I saw this massive European-style castle-church thing from the road in Ganzhou and we were like “Yo, they built a cathedral here and nobody told us?!” Looked exactly like those old churches you see in movies: tall spires, stained-glass-looking windows, the whole vibe. We even crossed ourselves out of respect before walking in 😂 We push open the giant doors expecting incense and hymns… instead the lady at the front desk in a suit goes “欢迎光临” (welcome) and hands us a room-rate card. Turns out the whole “church” is actually a luxury themed hotel called FUHOME. The altar area? Reception. The “chapel”? Lobby with chandeliers. The confession booths? Probably some VIP suites now 😂 We stood there for a solid 30 seconds with our mouths open, then started laughing so loud security thought we were drunk. Took this photo right after and left because we definitely couldn’t afford to confess our sins in 5-star beds that night. #HafrikLifestyle #Ganzhou #ChinaSurprises

It's #FeelGoodFriday on Hafrik, here's my weekend chill spot in China! I’d like to recommend Qianshen in Suzhou—a super cost-effective relaxation gem: you can enjoy cozy saunas, a heated swimming pool and warm hot springs here. When you feel tired from soaking, free light meals and fruits are ready for you, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The best part? It’s really budget-friendly—you can get a whole afternoon of relaxation for just a few dozen yuan. It’s my hidden "affordable recharge spot"! #Funfriday #HafrikLifestyle #HafrikVibes

How to Order Food in China Without Speaking Perfect Chinese (Works 99% of the Time) Step 1: Open WeChat/Dianping/Alipay Step 2: Scan the QR code on the table (almost every restaurant has one) Step 3: Menu pops up with photos + English/translation Step 4: Point at pictures, choose, pay instantly Step 5: Food arrives in 5–10 mins. No talking needed 😂 Bonus hack: If there’s no QR code, open your camera, point at the Chinese menu, and use the built-in translator (WeChat & Alipay both have it). Magic. I used to be terrified of ordering. Now I eat like a local every day. What’s your best food-ordering hack in China? Drop it in the comments! 👇 #TalkTuesday #HafrikInsights #ChinaSurvivalTips

Culture Shocks That Actually Made Me Love China More ❤️ When I first landed in China I was NOT ready 😂 1. Breakfast is a full meal at 7 a.m.: baozi, doujiang, youtiao everywhere! 2. Paying with cash = getting stared at like I’m from another century 3. Personal space doesn’t exist on subways (instant group hug) Now these are the exact reasons I never want to leave. China feels ALIVE. What was YOUR biggest culture shock in China? Drop it in the comments! 👇 #TalkTuesday #HafrikInsights #LifeInChina

Many Africans come to China hoping for a stable monthly job. The reality is different. Out of 100 people, maybe 5 get a proper role — and even that depends on passport, skills, experience and sometimes skin colour. But here’s the truth most people don’t hear early: China rewards people who open their minds, not just those looking for salary work. If you’re willing to learn, try small opportunities, build relationships and show up consistently, this place can transform your life. Whether you come as a student or a visitor, planning ahead is everything. Start testing ideas early, learn how the market works, and surround yourself with people who push themselves to grow. That’s one reason we built Hafrik — a platform helping Africans in China connect with real communities, events, businesses and opportunities. Because when you’re plugged into the right network, everything changes. If you stay open-minded, consistent and intentional, China won’t just be a place you live — it becomes a place you grow.
