<Archival backup for extremely helpful research some bloke did on good nightclubs across China:

PSA: Clubbing in China

>There are often posts here about people going out and being disappointed. Usually it's people going to the big huge DJ Mag EDM clubs and being disappointed that the music and dancing isn't the main point, because it never is with these huge Big Room/EDM places. China has a vibrant underground dance music scene with good quality music-focused clubs in most relatively big cities (and some hidden gems in small cities). I'm reposting a list I commented in another thread.


<[Northeast:]

>Substation in Shenyang
>Gift Space in Dalian
<[North:]
>Zhao Dai, Groundless Factory, Dada, ByeByeDisco, Pillbox in Beijing
>[1] Yuanbao, Tianjin
>Key in Jinan
>Alnico in Qingdao
<[East:]
>ALL, Exit, Potent, Abyss, System, Wigwam in Shanghai
>Loopy in Hangzhou
<[Southcentral:]
>Riff in Changsha
>OIL, Club Why in Shenzhen
<[Southwest]:
>Hum in Guiyang
>POOLS in Dali
>Dada in Kunming
>Echo Bay in Chongqing
>.TAG Club and Axis in Chengdu
<[Northwest]:
>JAR in Xi'an
>梦游 Mengyou in Yinchuan

>Festivals: Zhao Dai Hui in Qinhuangdao ["2h from Beijing"] is on every year and is a nationwide gathering point for this stuff, along with Chunyou in Chengdu.


>Music at these places varies, so check their WeChats to see what's on. Techno is usually a focus, but can get everything from crazy shit by the likes of Svbkvlt and Genome to weird hip-hop, gabber, Latin-infused stuff, Italo disco, hyperpop, UK garage, UK Funky, grime, dubstep (both deep and bro-y), reggaeton, trance, psy-trance and so on and so forth.


>If you like the big room EDM style, there are also probably smaller clubs that play that kind of stuff, but you won't find a lot of musical passion at the likes of Mix or Elements - it's not what they're for. The smaller clubs with dedicated ownership who nurture local talent both live and DJ are where it's at.


>If anyone knows the Guangzhou[no one delivered in the replies], Tianjin[1] etc. equivalents of the above please add, there's a whole network and everyone knows everyone. These are often also linked to the likes of abc art book fair, galleries like M Woods, coffee shops like postpost etc.

<(Shit awful sub, this guy is alone in a sea of anti-china bots posting from his heart, feel bad for him. Is partially why I'm backing it up because from the vibe of the other posters this guy will get banned and post removed soon for not towing the dominant "clubs bad in china / no nightlife in china / don't visit china" vibe there).

I'm too broke and mid to go clubbing in china :(

the fact that my mind went "huh they let people go clubbing in china?" shows the propaganda brainrot

>too mid
Nah man I think this is just the typical doomer self-inflicting mindset from imageboard culture you're hitting yourself with, the standards for beauty, especially for westerners, is lower in a place like China than what's probably the standard of your locality. You just have to understand and work with/against the fact that you thereby are a bit objectified in that way as an "exotic" thing within the foreign context.
If you do the bare minimum of maintaining basic routines for keeping yourself healthy (maintaining basic egoistic self-interest) by eating healthy, showering daily, sleeping regularly, grooming and working out a little (and in this context practicing the [target language] a little) you're good in most contexts and don't have to doubt yourself / hindering yourself.
>too broke
Now for sure, I'm no high spender myself, my income spirals around minimum wage, but I like exploring, learning about a variety of cultures and meeting different people and so I set aside savings for travel at least once a year, so far. Now in this case with China, I would most likely have to set a side savings for a two-year period, because the time I'd have to spend in China to actually get to know the culture is significantly larger than previous travels, considering its size and larger language barrier. With the China trip I would hope that I could spend between 4 and 6 months there my first time, because then I could get a scattershot understanding of the regional diversity by traveling to a variety of different cities and staying in the cities for at least 2 weeks each.

It's definitely a project in that sense and requires want and dedication.

Thank you :)
