Moving to China is one of the most exciting decisions a young person can make — and one of the most confusing. The "first week" turns into a loop of Reddit threads, WeChat groups, YouTube videos in four languages, and half-answered questions. The information exists, but it's spread across twenty places and out of date.

Qiao starts with a short onboarding. In under a minute we know who you are, where you're going, and when. From there we hand you a calm path — a checklist prioritised for your first week, reminders pinned to deadlines you can't miss, a city + campus guide, and an AI helper that already knows your situation.

We keep Qiao small on purpose. It is not a social network, not a marketplace, not a dating app. It is the companion that gets you through the first six months — then stays useful whenever you travel to a new city.
