Gay Beijing — Your Complete Guide

Everything worth knowing before you go.

Beijing has the most active LGBTQ+ scene currently operating in mainland China, centred on the Sanlitun / Workers' Stadium (Gongti) area in Chaoyang District.

The scene is functioning but discreet; expect venues without overt LGBTQ+ signage and a crowd that understands the operating environment.
