ChristianPFC Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm currently in Chengdu and was searching for gay venues in English on bing and in Chinese on baidu. Few results. I went to MC bar and sauna and a local told me they closed two years ago. I went to Tata bar and there is now a different business, which was not open Friday night around 9. How to find gay venues? Gay online dating similar. I scrolled down on blued a bit, and when I reached 610 km distance, there is a message "There are no more guys, please check it later." Is there an international version of blued which I am using, and a local one they are using? (Taking advantage of 15 days visa free for Germans and various others. Gayguides is not blocked in China.) donJ, vinapu and tm_nyc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaolakguy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Anyone interested in Chengdu, and especially gay life there, might want to watch a documentary currently being released that focusses on an "underground" gay club there. The movie is titled The Last Year of Darkness and becomes available on MUBI this week. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/mar/12/the-last-year-of-darkness-review-chengdu-club-culture donJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macaroni21 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The bar is called "Pose". Near the beginning of the video it says one can google "Pose Chengdu" to find its location, but doing so didn't give any result for me. Instead, Google fed me "Hunk" bar at these co-ordinates: 30.63923713404091, 104.09020340885925, also in Chengdu city. I'm not saying they're the same.

macaroni21 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Ah, that is helpful information if anyone is going to Chengdu or Chongqing. Such is the Youtube algorithm that I find another video by the same pai pai guy, this time about a gay bar in Beijing called Destination. The thing that comes across is how different gay culture can be in different countries. reader and Marc in Calif 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Thought I was back in Screwboy when I saw the dancers in opening scene wearing basketball uniforms but then noticed two differences. First, they all have different numbers you can't miss. Second, none are twinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni21 Posted Tuesday at 12:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:46 PM If only the gay bars of Patpong had something of this standard for their shows, it might actually be worth the 500 baht they charge. Then again, I noticed the investment in technology... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
