who is Wnic?

What's New in Changsha was set up as a Facebook Group originally and this still forms the backbone of WNIC. The emphasis is on open, free sharing of information, events and on foreigners/Chinese helping expats.

The group was founded in 2011 by Damion Braithwaite, a Brit in Changsha, now with a family. Please meet our team of informal friends and associates:
