| Travel & Resources: HONG KONG |
On Hong Kong Island most visitors will gravitate towards the cluster of international clubs in Central and its frenetic nightlife hub, Lan Kwai Fong. Another large cluster of venues is located between Wanchai and Causeway Bay, discreetly hidden away in commercial buildings.
Over in colorful Kowloon, which has a dense collection of easy-to-access gay clubs along the MTR corridor, crowds throng through neon-lit high-rise canyons, going to/from shopping, eating or partying at innumerable entertainment venues in Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok. If you are looking for a bit of old Hong Kong, take a taxi to "Kowloon City" where traditional shops and restaurants are still managing (barely) to fend off massive redevelopment.
Hong Kong's population is over 7 million (that's more than a quarter million Utopians).
Navigating the local gay scene is easy with our interactive Utopia Map of Gay & Lesbian Hong Kong:

Hong Kong's gay scene is spread through neighborhoods on Hong Kong Island as well as across the harbor on the Kowloon side of the city (well worth exploring!). While homosexuality was decriminalized in the last century, and the Hong Kong Lesbian and Gay Film Festival is the oldest such event in Asia, gay life remains largely hidden because Hong Kong still manages to remain a "small town" where privacy is a luxury. Your laptop and smart devices will be buzzing with potential new friends eager to meet you. The scene is active with upscale venues, longrunning local gay zines, and creative special events like Fruits in Suits (gay professionals who meet in non-gay venues).
