Dear Shenzhen-er,
In news this week: Tax Relief has been extended for qualified expats here and in the GBA area, A full schedule of Shenzhen's light shows for the rest of the year, and some celebratory performances and other attractions in Nantou Ancient City (today and tomorrow) were announced.
Thanks to IamHaiGui for the invitation and putting on an interesting festival themed event. I didn't manage to win at the ring toss game - but then again I never do. Thanks to the new faces that joined our MindBody event on Sunday - it was a more intimate and engaging meetup this time around.
For Job Seekers in and outside of our city interested in employment here in Shenzhen you can check out our Online Job Fair this Wednesday. Zack may be hosting his bi/tri weekly Marketing Event this week - you'll have to stay tuned in for that! And as always for something a little more intimate you can join us on Sunday afternoons for discussions on topics in Psychology at the MindBody Group meetups.
As always for a full list of everything going on this week please have a look at our full events page!
Have a great week!
-David & The NowShenzhen Team
