☕ Where Do You Go to Unwind in Your City? Life in China can move so fast — new faces, new food, new routines. But everyone needs that one spot where they can slow down, recharge, and just breathe. 🌿 For some, it’s a quiet café with jazz music and milk tea. For others, it’s a night walk along the Pearl River, a small African restaurant, or even a WeChat group full of familiar names. Where’s your go-to place to unwind in your city? 📍Drop the name or short description below — let’s build a community list of the best chill spots across Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, and beyond. ✨ Whether it’s a park, a rooftop, or a late-night market, someone in your city might just need that same space too. #HafrikPlaces #ForeignersInChina #WeekendVibes #HafrikLife #HafrikCommunity

🎉 Hafrik Has a New Look! Dear Hafrik Family, We are excited to let you know that we’ve just upgraded Hafrik with a new default theme and updated design. This change is not just about looks — it’s about making Hafrik easier, faster, and smoother to use. ✨ Why we made this update Our goal has always been simple: to make life easier for foreigners living in China and to connect Africa with China, and China to the world. Hafrik was created as a platform where you can: • 👥 Find community – connect with people who understand your journey. • 💼 Discover opportunities – jobs, businesses, and collaborations. • 🎉 Enjoy life – events, entertainment, and culture. • 📚 Get guidance – tips, advice, and real experiences from people like you. We know how challenging it can be to adapt to a new country, culture, and system. Hafrik was born out of that need — to bridge the gap, reduce the struggles, and help you feel at home, no matter where you are. 🚀 What this update means for you • A cleaner, modern design. • Easier navigation across pages and features. • A smoother user experience as we continue to build Hafrik into the ultimate lifestyle hub for foreigners. We’re just getting started, and your feedback means everything. Together, we can achieve our aim of making life abroad easier, more connected, and more fulfilling. Thank you for being part of this journey 💚. — The Hafrik Team

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create something meaningful, not just for myself, but for the community I live in. That dream gave birth to Hafrik - The foreigners hub in China. Hafrik is a platform built for foreigners living in China, a space where people can connect, share experiences, and find opportunities. Living abroad isn’t always easy, but with the right support system and community, it becomes a journey of growth and discovery. Through Hafrik, we are building that support system: a network that helps people feel at home, no matter how far away from home they are. This is my first official post here regarding my journey, and I’m excited to share this journey with you. I’ll be talking about what we’re building with Hafrik, my personal experiences, and the lessons that come with creating something for the community 👉 If you’re interested in community, growth, and cross-cultural experiences, I’d love to connect with you. #Hafrik #China #Community #ForeignersInChina #Growth

Many foreigners come to China with dreams of finding professional work but get stuck navigating the job market. The truth is: opportunities exist, but they require strategy. • Focus on industries that value international talent: education, trade, e-commerce, and marketing. • Build local networks, both online and offline community.
