To really get things moving maybe you need to use Wechat - the all encompassing social messaging platform that the local population have integrated into daily life it is almost ridiculously impressive.
You're likely to find various clubs and groups associated with the tracks etc that have a presence on Wechat.
The catch is though to make the most of the platform one really needs to be able to read and write CHS (simplified Ch!nese).
