The people behind your request

About ChinaMate: Local Team, Services & Contact

ChinaMate starts with our family in Hunan and friends across China. We believe the most useful connection is often a real person who understands the place — and takes the time to understand you.

A little local. A lot of heart.

We’re based in Hunan and can explore tasks elsewhere through our personal network or arranged travel. Availability, access and travel costs are confirmed for each request.

Based in Hunan · China Standard Time (UTC+8)
