+
+Field notes from [[about|muShanghai]] — the month-long, builders-only unconference at Alibaba HQ in Shanghai (May 10 – Jun 6, 2026).
+
+This wiki is a personal experience log, scaffolded ahead of the [[may-2026|May 2026 edition]] and intended to grow with each event, hackerhouse, factory tour, and conversation.
+
+## Map
+
+- [[about]] — what muShanghai is, who runs it, and how it works
+- [[the-mu]] — The Mu, the organizing entity behind the program
+- [[themes]] — the four weekly themes: AI, biotech, robotics, culture
+- [[may-2026]] — the upcoming edition I'm attending
+- [[applying]] — application process, ticket pricing, co-creation model
+
+## How to navigate
+
+Pages follow the structured-wiki pattern: **compiled truth above the `---` divider, append-only timeline below.** Cross-references use `[[wikilinks]]`. Sources live under `raw/` and are immutable once written.
+
+For the conventions in detail, see [schema](schema.md).

+# About muShanghai
+
+**muShanghai** is a month-long, builders-only unconference held at Alibaba HQ in Shanghai, organized by [[the-mu|The Mu]]. The 2026 edition runs **May 10 – Jun 6** with full-month campus access at Shanghai Future Tech City. The framing is unapologetic: "Builders Only. No Tourists." Tickets are $149 ($119 early bird) and entry is gated by an [[applying|application + review]].
+
+The structure is one [[themes|weekly theme]] for four weeks — AI, biotech & longevity, robotics & hardware, and culture — each anchored by a flagship event (OpenClaw, the Longevity Market, the Underground Robot Fight Club, and a closing festival). Around the anchors are hackerhouses, factory tours, a builders market, workshops, and Mandarin / Kung fu classes; participants can also propose their own events via Luma with The Mu as co-host.
+
+The pitch, distilled: spend a month immersed in the people and companies actually scaling Chinese tech — Alibaba, TikTok, Unitree, BYD, Xiaomi, Fudan, etc. — in the country doing the scaling, with other builders rather than spectators.

+# Applying & participating
+
+[[about|muShanghai]] is gated. The flow:
+
+1. **Apply** via the form at <https://mushanghai.xyz/>.
+2. **Wait** ~1 week for [[the-mu|The Mu]]'s team review.
+3. **Purchase ticket** upon acceptance — **$149** standard, **$119** early bird.
+4. **Join the Co-Creator group chat** ([Telegram](https://t.me/+dngZ49zj9hE1YzM1)) to start planning.
+
+## Co-creation
+
+Participants aren't passive attendees. You can submit your own events via [Luma](https://luma.com/mushanghai) with The Mu as co-host; accepted events go on the official calendar and get promoted. In practice this means the program is partly defined by who shows up and what they bring.
+
+## Costs to budget beyond the ticket
+
+The $149 covers entry / programming. Not covered: flights, lodging, visa, food, and within-Shanghai transport for the month. Hackerhouses are an option mentioned in the program — they likely affect lodging math significantly. To be confirmed once on the ground.

+# muShanghai — May 2026 edition
+
+The edition I'm attending. **May 10 – Jun 6, 2026**, at Shanghai Future Tech City (Alibaba HQ). Sequenced as the four [[themes|weekly themes]]: AI → biotech/longevity → robotics → culture.
+
+This page is intentionally a stub — pre-event scaffolding only. As the program runs, I'll keep the **compiled truth** here as a living summary of the experience and append a dated **timeline** entry per significant event, conversation, or observation. Anything substantial gets its own [[wiki/]] page and is linked from here.
+
+## Pre-trip plan
+
+- Arrive a few days before May 10 to settle in.
+- Following [[the-mu|The Mu]]'s [Luma calendar](https://luma.com/mushanghai) for daily program updates.
+- Likely co-creating one or more events under the [[applying#co-creation|co-creation model]] — TBD what.
+
+## What I want out of it
+
+To be filled in pre-departure. Working set: meet builders shipping in Chinese AI/robotics, get inside one or two Alibaba/Unitree/BYD facilities, find a hackerhouse worth inhabiting, and write home about something I couldn't have written about from the US.
+
+---
+
+## [2026-04-22] page created
+
+- Pre-event scaffold; no field notes yet.
+- Will be the primary surface for daily updates during the program.

+
+# Weekly themes
+
+[[about|muShanghai]] is structured as four week-long thematic blocks, each anchored by a flagship event and surrounded by hackerhouses, tours, and meetups. The 2026 sequence:
+
+## Week 1 — AI
+
+Featured organizations include **Alibaba (Qwen)**, **TikTok (SeeDance 2.0)**, **Kimi**, and **Z.Ai**. The anchor event is the **OpenClaw competition** — a builder-facing showcase whose format I'll document here once observed.
+
+## Week 2 — Biotech & Longevity
+
+Featured: **XtalPi**, **MindRank AI**, **DrugFarm**, **Baichuan AI**, **Fudan University**, plus others not yet named publicly. Anchor: the **Longevity Market** showcase.
+
+## Week 3 — Robotics & Hardware
+
+Featured: **AGIBot**, **Unitree**, **BYD**, **Xiaomi**. Anchor: the **Underground Robot Fight Club** — billed exactly as you'd hope.
+
+## Week 4 — Culture
+
+14+ cultural / creative organizations participate. Anchor: a **closing festival**, described as "a music festival or Burning Man-style closing event." Format presumably finalizes closer to the date.
