By day, Dada transforms into a chic café, the perfect spot to unwind with a coffee after a whirlwind tour of Beijing if you need some energy for exploring the city.

Jujiao Yanyi Bar 

If you are on a budget, is a very casual gay bar in the basement of the Golden Sun Commercial Hotel of Beijing, which usually attracts mostly Chinese locals.

This UNESCO World Heritage site is one major site you don't want to miss. Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven to start. Pop classics that get the whole room singing. No matter where you’re headed out at night in any of Beijing's gay bars, it’s more fun with a crew—so bring a posse or at least some liquid courage to chat up new friends (and there is more safety in numbers where you can look out for each other).

As the sun sets, the city doesn't really sleep; instead, it dons its glittering night attire.

Finding this gem is an adventure in itself!

For a taste of local life

Meander through the narrow alleys of the Hutongs. Pro tip: this cash-only spot is a blast from the past, so come prepared with some yuan in your pocket.
