Coworking in Beijing
The capital and cultural heavyweight: hutong lanes and imperial sights alongside a serious startup and creative scene. Nomads base in Chaoyang and Sanlitun for the expat amenities or the Gulou-Dongcheng hutong core for character. Domestic internet is fast, but Beijing sits firmly behind the Great Firewall, so a VPN or an offshore-routing eSIM set up before arrival is non-negotiable for remote work. Winters are cold and hazy and summers are hot, so spring and autumn are the windows to aim for.

Beijing is a 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit port for eligible travelers continuing to a third country or region (Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan count). Many nationalities now also get 30-day unilateral visa-free entry, though the list changes and some passports, US among them, are not on it. Neither route permits working for a local employer; confirm the current rules for your nationality and route before booking.
