LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — TRAVEL ADVISORY

Legal but civil society space is closing — discretion advised

Local law: Decriminalised 1997; no anti-discrimination protections; NGO crackdown intensifying since 2020. Public LGBTQ+ organising restricted.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

About this place Pose

Pose is listed as a gay club on the 4th floor of the Future Center (未来中心) at 26 Dongfeng Road in Chengdu's Chenghua District. Listings describe dance nights with drag and performance aimed at a young local crowd. We have no current rating, phone or website for it, and Chinese gay venues open, move and rename often. Check a recent post on Blued or Dianping before heading out, and go late, since clubs in Chengdu fill after midnight. Expect a Mandarin-speaking crowd; going with a local friend makes the door easier.
