Coworking Spaces
WeWork
Multiple locations throughout Shanghai with international-standard facilities. Day passes and monthly memberships available. Reliable high-speed internet, free-flow coffee, and community events. Locations in Jing'an, French Concession, and Lujiazui.
naked Hub (now part of WeWork)
Stylish spaces popular with creatives and entrepreneurs. Good for networking.
People Squared (P2)
A local coworking chain with good facilities and more affordable pricing than international brands.
Local's Take: WeWork is the most reliable option for visiting nomads. Day passes cost around 150-200 RMB. The WeWork on Wuding Road (Jing'an) and the one on Huaihai Road (French Concession) are the best locations for atmosphere and surrounding amenities.
Work-Friendly Cafes
Seesaw Coffee
Shanghai's homegrown specialty coffee chain. Reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and a relaxed atmosphere. Multiple locations.
Manner Coffee
Affordable specialty coffee (15-25 RMB). Small spaces but welcoming to laptop workers. A local favorite.
