Shanghai Gay Bars & Dance Clubs

Shanghai's gay nightlife changes quickly but remains small for a city of its size. There's a good choice of gay-popular bars with something for everyone

Before you visit Shanghai Gay Bars

A handy suggestion from us—set up a WeChat account before your Shanghai trip. Since apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, and most Google-related ones are restricted there, WeChat is a popular way for locals to connect. Having it will help you access the latest info, book things, and communicate easily during your visit!
