City Weekend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

City Weekend ^[1] is free, bi-weekly entertainment event and venue listing magazine based out of China.^[2] It currently is one of four major English magazines in China available free—That's Shanghai,^[3] Time Out, and 8 Days. The magazine was one of the first private English language magazines. The magazine itself acts as a source of information for many in the expat and local community.^[4] Staff rely on its reader-powered website to access local communities and generate everything from national articles to factual news about local events, venues, and classified ads in China's two largest cities—Beijing and Shanghai.

City Weekend also publishes a variety of free guides yearly including a Bar and Restaurant Guide (good for visitors, better if you actually live in the city) and the Service Directory (a small English business and service phone book). The magazine also produces seasonal supplements for home owners and parents.
