The Rotary Club of Shanghai was first chartered on the 1st October 1919 as club #545, the first Rotary club in China and the second in Asia. The club ceased to operate after the 1949 revolution and was de-chartered by Rotary International in 1952.
After meeting for 5 years in "provisional" status, the club was formally re-chartered by Rotary International on 8 February 2006 as an undistricted club #60725 and is now part of a fellowship of more than 30 thousand service clubs around the world.
Although undistricted, the  Shanghai club is a part of the "Rotary China Team" along with our colleagues in Beijing in Zone 4. For more information about Rotary in China please visit the "Rotary China Team" website or the Rotary Club of Beijing website.


The Rotary Club of Shanghai meets every Tuesday evening, 18:30 for 19:00 (6:30 for 7:00 pm) ending promptly at 20:30 (8:30 pm) in the Regal International East Asia Hotel, 516 Hengshan Lu, Shanghai, China － 富豪环球东亚酒店 上海市衡山路516号. Tel: +86 21 64155588. Click here for detailed directions.

The Rotary Club of Shanghai became a 100% Paul Harris Fellow club on 13 June 2003 while still a provisional club.
