Our guides Dao and Rob will take you out for a night of information, fun, get together and discoveries. Starting with a Chinese dinner, our guides will give you first a bit of historical background about homosexual China. Later the topic will switch to the past decade and how the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) scene in Beijing has been developing. They will explain you the social challenges, why a coming-out in China is somewhat more challenging than in the Western countries. They will also tell you about their own experiences and since our guide is a couple of a local Chinese and a Westerner, you will get both points of view. On top of that they will of course also tell you the “do’s and don’t’s” while traveling in China. Following these advices you will enjoy a most hassle free journey through China.
After dinner , Dao and Rob will take you to the local gay bars and clubs, show you the venues and introduce you to their friends. In this way you will be immediately in contact with local people and you will know the location of the venues that you find in the remaining days in Beijing your way back there.
