Population is over 10 million (that's more than 400,000 Utopians).
Chengdu's regional HIV/AIDS outreach center and tongzhi (queer) community organization. Funded in part by a UK NGO. They have a very positive presence in town. Information board in the hallway and Chinese language litereature available for those that drop by. They also host occasional meetings, film screenings and other educational programs.
A small bar with drag queen lipsync shows and horny waiters. Kind of crazy/dirty/sexy.
Located under street level, so look for escalators going down. A large gay club in the 339 entertainment area around the television tower. Offering singers, rappers, gogo dancers and a 'bouncing' dance floor. Has private seating areas, so it can be daunting to visit alone (try to find friends to go with you).
Gay bar for drinks and relaxing. Mixed ages.
A bar for young gay guys. In summer, the cute waiters wear shorts.
A gay bar with occasional drag shows, gogo dancers and events. Good music and nice, friendly staff. Busiest on weekends. Bachelor Party every Wed.
A lesbian bar.
Gay-friendly DJ bar.
Max Club (formerly YY), Baron, and one lesbian bar are here. It's like a gay complex. Two gay bars next to each other and then one huge lesbian bar next door. Good fun in YY.
Look for the round, red Budweiser sign on the 2/F exterior of the hotel. A beautifully designed gay bar and karaoke club.
A large gay club located close to Hunk bar. Not so easy to find. Follow the signs for WOW pub and go up to the higher floor and carry on walking past their entrance. It has shows and a great vibe. Has private seating areas, so it can be daunting to visit alone (try to find friends to go with you).
Tibetan Style gay KTV.
Gay-owned spa for men only in Chengdu's CBD. Call for directions to the facility and they'll fetch you from the vicinity. Stylishly designed secret garden, with cozy rooms amidst quiet and relaxation. Purest botanical essences, imported from France and Canada. Tailored to suit the needs of men -- with treatments carried out by professionally trained masseurs. Treatments include relaxation massage, 4-hand massage, sea crystal scrub, waxing, and more combining Chinese tradition, yin and yang, and aboriginal elements. They have adopted traditional music and the theory of Chinese medicine based on the balance of elements (gold, wood, water, fire, soil). After your treatment, enjoy healthy refreshments.
Al fresco tea patio near the Estate Exchange Building at Houziman.
Near Shudu Bld, Zongfu Rd.
"MC Sauna in Chengdu is closed now." -- Jack, Nov 22, 2020
"You are right, Chengdu is gay paridise. People are more open and lots of saunas compared to other cities. Right now, Re Dai Yu Lin for mid-age men (热带雨林), and Dong Gan Yu Lin for older men (动感雨林). Chengdu is a nice and lucky city." -- Tommy, Jul 4, 2020
Fun to visit and colorful for your cameras (but expect high prices for mediocre food), Chengdu's "Chinese Village" themed shopping areas are like Disneyland's Main Street -- an idealized version of the charming local neighborhoods that got plowed under and built over in the great drive towards progress. Jin Li Ancient Street next to Wuhou Temple (this funerary temple and its gardens has a steep Y$60+ entry fee compared to Y$5+ for Wenshu Temple or Y$10+ for Qingyang Temple) is the most famous and packed with Chinese tourists. Kuan Xiangzi is more trendy, with clubs and restaurants that come alive in the evenings, yet you will still see residents doing synchronized dance routines, toddlers in split pants answering the call of nature, elaborate ear cleaning experts waiting to use their specialized tools on you, sugar-glass blowers and drizzlers making elaborate sweets that are works of folk art (see photo above), and all manner of Chinese crafts and edibles. The neighborhood around Wenshu Temple is another one of these pop-go-the-Chinese shopping districts.
