Pride Month Special: Queer Discount

Hi, dear queers!

Welcome to China. This is a little letter for you — just to say thank you.
Thank you for choosing to come here, to visit, to be here during Pride Month. Not only because you’re traveling and exploring this country, but because your presence itself means something. For some locals, meeting you might give them a new way to see things. And that’s powerful.

So, we prepared a small Pride Month gift: a free matching with a queer local friend — someone to hang out with, chat, maybe explore together. And we’ll also treat you to a cocktail or a beer, just to say welcome.

Here are some notes and tips, from one queer in China to another:

If you’re going to Beijing

There are cool bars for lesbians and gays — People come to Beijing for the history — the traditions, the vibe of “old China.” But there’s another side of the city too, and it’s worth exploring with someone local if you get the chance.

If you’re going to Shanghai

It’s probably the most busy city in China. There are tons of events about subcultures, music, art — and of course, queer stuff.
It’s easier to meet English-speaking friends here. But if you get matched with a queer local, it might be even more fun to explore the city together — they might show you something unexpected.

If you’re going to Wuhan

Wuhan is super famous in the lesbian community. A lot of tomboys (we call them “T” here) live there, and the atmosphere is very open within the circle.
If you're curious about China's own lesbian culture, Wuhan might surprise you.

If you’re going to Chengdu

Congrats — here’s a fun fact: Chengdu is often called the “gay capital of China”. Not many people outside Asia know this.
Chengdu is also the birthplace of Taoism, which values a relaxed, natural, go-with-the-flow lifestyle. Maybe that's part of why the city feels chill and more inclusive for queers.

Different Vibes

And yes, the scene here is different from the West. It's not like big gay clubs in Europe — it’s more like a bunch of small islands, each with its own vibe. For example:

1. Lesbian bars, often for girls only — you can play card games, join their group activities, or just talk.
2. All-gender clubs — for dancing, singing, partying.
3. Tomboy-style host bars — kinda like Japan’s hosto culture, but with queer Chinese flavor. You can chat with them, or even invite them to go out with you for the night.

Let’s Talk, Let’s Meet

We believe conversations matter. Your perspective as a queer traveler might may inspire someone here.
So if you're coming to China during June, and you're queer — contact us. We'll match you with a queer local friend and treat you to a drink.
