An upscale and international gay club in Shanghai that is always pumping on the weekends. Shanghai and the W Hotel complement each other perfectly, and this is our favorite gay-friendly stay in Shanghai, bar none. It might look flashy, but the prices are not too bad; there is an intriguing range of Asian-fusion cocktails, and you get an electric mix of people, foreign and ex-pats.
Club ALL
A popular queer-friendly nightlife spot with industrial vibes and plenty of techno, house, drum N bass and more.
Similar to London’s Tate Modern, though, its budget does not quite match yet.
Time Acrobatic Show
It is a breathtaking showcase of traditional Chinese acrobatics combined with martial arts, special effects and just a touch of magic.
Shanghai Tower
The highest observation deck in the world – in the world’s second tallest building.

Upstairs from Lucca 390, this cute British-themed bar is often less crowded and has better cocktails and a less crowded dance floor. It's like your best friend's living room, only with an impressive cocktail menu. The bar, adorned with intricate and classic Chinese art, is the ultimate spot to mingle and dance the night away.
So pack your bags and let Shanghai's blend of history and modernity show you what China is all about!

The crowd is a wonderfully eclectic mix of all genders, ages, and sizes, creating a melting pot of fabulousness.Therefore don’t be surprised when you see men with arms draped over each other’s shoulders or girls walking hand in hand.
Shanghai Pride has been held and growing annually in June here since 2009, and while it contains a great many events throughout the week, no parade has yet been allowed due to the ban on protest and political expression in China.
Towering over the already skyscraper-packed Pudong, the view is simply breathtaking and the best way to truly see modern China glittering around you. Foreigners are welcome, and it’s an interesting experience and kind of adorable if this seems like your scene.

Gay Spas & Gay Saunas in Shanghai
Had enough of gay cruising in Shanghai – either in the bars or elsewhere?
For those who want a bit more guaranteed action, the gay saunas in Shanghai are open late, although many are as disappointing as all those faceless Grindr accounts…
For one of the biggest cities on Earth, the gay sauna scene in Shanghai is somewhat underdeveloped and is nothing like the fabulous sauna you would find in the gay sauna of Taipei or Gay Tokyo – but Shanghai does, in fact, have the best saunas in mainland China.
In such a foreign-friendly city, you should have no issues visiting any of the Shanghai gay saunas but be warned that we have heard reports that older, hairy or chubbier non-Asian guys are being ignored at most saunas.
Lian Bang
(Temporarily or permanently closed.
It was only around 1995 that Shanghai’s gay male population moved from cruising spots of ‘fishing holes’ in parks and public restrooms into bars and clubs, and while the Shanghai LGBT scene is still growing, it has yet to find its feet completely.
Depending on your mood, you can find anything here, from a relaxed cocktail in an upscale bar to an all-night dance rave surrounded by your queer family!
If you love chicken, make sure to try out Beggar's Chicken (dish of chicken that is stuffed, wrapped in clay and lotus leaves or banana or bamboo leaves that is cooked for hours). Completely different from a typical Starbucks, the interior design is a work of art and will have you Instagramming for days. With its dragon-lined walls, jade-water ponds, and timeless pavilions, it’s a place where time slows down, inviting you to ponder the beauty of now.
A must-see piece of socialist history.
Tianzifang Neighbourhood
A historical jumble of laneways and newly renovated boutique shops, bars and restaurants. Open 24 hours. Just around the corner from Lollipop Bar, so maybe stop in and see if it gets any better?
Lai Lai Dance Hall
Not really a gay nightclub but worth a mention as a discreet meeting place for older Chinese men from a time when being openly gay was highly Taboo.
