Hi! I'm Alex, one of the founders of SmartShanghai and SmartBeijing and the main web developer.

Currently, we have listings for over 6,000 restaurants, clubs, stores, and other various venues around Shanghai and Beijing. We use a sophisticated search program that enables users to reach the venues they’re looking for, even if the spell the name wrong in our search field. That’s pretty neat.

Have a look below to see how you can get your venue listed FOR FREE.

Please note:

No Guarantees

The submission of your venue information does not guarantee that it will be posted on the website. SmartShanghai retains the right to reject submissions.

Listing charges

All basic venue listings are free of charge and independent of paid advertising. As such, they are qualified as "editorial content" and SmartShanghai retains the right to rewrite venue listing submissions.

If you feel your venue warrants greater exposure, please utilize our advertising options - contact us here for rates and advertising plans.

Listings updates

To help ensure the continued success of SmartShanghai, please feel free to keep us informed of changes in venue information. Please email SmartShanghai's listing manager at contact@smartshanghai.com if you find outdated information in any of your listings.

User reviews

Registered SmartShanghai users can submit venue reviews for all restaurants and clubs listed on SmartShanghai. Our editorial team monitors the quality of user reviews, however we do not remove reviews on request of venue owners unless the reviews are unrealistically damaging to specific venue. More on our review policies and guidelines here.
