Upper-intermediate | Activities on Douban

October 5, 2026 · 15 min

Show notes

Facebook is blocked in China, so it's not used by most Chinese for socializing and organizing events. For organizing events, especially for the young Chinese artsy crowd, the place to go is Douban. Here you can find information on events as well as book reviews, movie reviews and more. In this lesson, one friend tells another all about it. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/2200
