It’s party time in the PRD and across China as the Chinese Lunar New Year is rung in. Unfortunately, as we already noted, there won’t be nearly as many large-scale fireworks shows in the PRD this year. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun; there is no doubt plenty going on over the next 7 days.

Many of you have time off work for the Chunjie holiday, and we will too. Posting will be sporadic at best until we all return to work following the break.

So here’s to you and yours for a fantastic Year of the Snake.

Merry Christmas from The Nanfang

Another year is winding down here at The Nanfang’s PRD headquarters, and it’s been a busy one. We re-launched the site this year, which included a re-design of our home page and blog. In 2013, we have a lot more in store, and want to thank each and every one of you for stopping by and spending a few minutes of your day with us.

There are plenty of Christmas parties happening across the PRD over the holidays, so check The Nanfang’s Events section for Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Guangzhou for details. We’ll be off tomorrow for Christmas Day, but will return to regular posts on the 26th.

From all of us at The Nanfang, we want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

The Nanfang will be out in Dongguan this weekend… come say hi

Posted: 02/24/2011 4:00 am

To celebrate one month of The Nanfang being live and on the interwebs, we’ll be out and about in Dongguan this weekend, taking notes, snapping photos, and expanding the content we offer in our bar and restaurant listings.

While we’ve been to many of the bars and restaurants in Dongguan already, we’re looking forward to hitting up the ones that have escaped us. One of the ones on our agenda is Woodstock, as well as Beijing Bar and Hollywood Baby Too. Of the three main cities in the PRD, expats calling Dongguan home have the fewest online resources — all the more reason for us to make our listings even more comprehensive.

For those Shenzhen and Guangzhou residents who fancy a night’s stay in Dongguan, you could do worse than giving this a read for a primer on Dongguan’s nightlife. We may also use this as a general guide.

Hope to see you around this weekend.
