Profile

SmartShanghai.com has been the city's leading English-language online magazine for more than 15 years. We write daily content and editorial on lifestyle news and events, we host Shanghai’s largest venue directory (15,000 and counting…); the city’s best event listings; a super popular housing platform; SmartTicket, our ticketing service; an active online dating community; an online digital marketplace; and more.

Our singular and (variously) irreverent editorial style and focus, along with our genuine love and passion for living in and writing about Shanghai, has set us apart over the years.
SmartShanghai.com is an independent media publication dedicated to honesty and editorial transparency; these are the principles the company was founded on all those years ago and the ones we still adhere to today.

CORE VALUES

The editorial content of SmartShanghai.com is created by our independent team of editors who work, eat, play, drink, and live in Shanghai. We are people who value this city and want to see its cultural life and landscape evolve and grow. In our 15+-year run, we have always placed honesty and transparency first in everything we do. As a policy, we always clearly label any content that is paid for. All banner ads are clearly marked and our opinions are independently and proudly our own.
