Shanghai's French and German Communities: Current Status

Considering a move to Shanghai and have heard about sizable French and German communities before 2020. Many expats left during 2020-2022, so I'm curious about their current size and growth.

The expat communities in Shanghai, including the French and German ones, are definitely smaller than pre-2020. Whether they're "sizable" is subjective and depends on what you consider sizable. There's still a presence, though – you'll find German and French language groups, schools, and perhaps even some businesses catering specifically to those communities. But expect it to be less vibrant than before the pandemic. Finding up-to-date numbers on community size is tricky; you'd probably have better luck connecting with those communities directly through online forums or Facebook groups.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
