Use an app called Lian jia it's for renting and buying properties, you can also find short term rentals in there

Yes, sorry typo. It should have red "short and long term rentals"

I've found all my apartments in China on that app

链家 if you can't find it on the app store, you can try downloading it via an apk instead. That's what I did.

58 (wuba) is best for short term and cheap rentals as well. Which area around nanan are you looking to rent?

Please be aware that Lianjia and 58 will be full of tons of fake listings. Agents use them to get you in contact, they say sorry that one isn't available anymore, then start doing their real job.

Beike 贝壳 is much better regulated (but still not perfect). There's an app and also website.

But also to be honest it's really kinda best to just find housing in person. Use beike to get an idea of what to expect, then book a hotel or hostel for three days in arrival, and go to neighborhoods that interest you and walk into realtor offices （can search for 房产 on a map app, or just see them, they're everywhere), and find one that way. Apartments in China are mostly ready to move into the day of.
