What to expect

Shanghai is a city of colors and contrasts — far from China’s political center, yet full of surprises waiting to be discovered. Behind its skyline of glittering towers hides another world — one of mystery, art, and intoxicating freedom.

You might start your night in a Chinese medical bar, where a real traditional doctor crafts a cocktail infused with medicinal herbs just for you. Or step into a mystic divination bar, where a Chinese witch reveals your fortune and blesses your drink according to your destiny.

Shanghai’s nightlife is also a window into its modern soul — from LGBTQ+ bars to women-only spaces, you’ll see how local youth and queer communities redefine identity, freedom, and pleasure in this ever-changing city.

You’ll be matched with a local friend — not a tour guide — someone who shares your vibe, speaks your language, and moves with the city’s rhythm. We’ll suggest a starting point, but you’re free to follow your curiosity, explore places that catch your eye, and shape your experience

— Now, it’s your adventure.
