Why it belongs on the map
Dongtai is the strongest verified remote-work signal in this atlas. In 2025 reporting, the village had 16 projects and 11 operator workshops spanning shared office, art, tea, health, technology study and a library, plus five themed courtyards.
It is still emerging. The opportunity is to enter while the operator network is forming, but that also means fewer assumptions about footfall and services.
Best use case
A small remote team, research retreat or workshop that values a curated village platform over a fully mature consumer market.
