HomeInCyprus

Chinese-language reporting and practical Cyprus knowledge, built inside the community and operating continuously since 2012.

In 2022, the Chinese Embassy in Cyprus described HomeInCyprus as “Cyprus's largest Chinese-language platform.” In 2025, China News Service identified it as the country's largest Chinese-language media outlet.

A Cyprus newsroom built for Chinese-speaking readers

HomeInCyprus connects daily reporting with the questions people actually face when they live, study, invest, work or travel in Cyprus.

The platform began as a practical mutual-aid and information community in 2012. It developed into a Chinese-language Cyprus media operation covering local affairs, education, healthcare, property, immigration, travel, culture and China-Cyprus relations.

Its archive includes interviews with public officials, mayors, educators, doctors, companies and community members; reporting from public events and emergencies; and original guides based on long-term local experience. A 2018 Cyprus Mail profile documented this service model and its focus on accurate Cyprus information.

Today, readers can move from a daily news item to a practical answer page, source-labelled data, original reporting or a relevant China-Cyprus record without leaving the same knowledge system.
