China’s Top 10 Gayest Cities
There is no official data on homosexuality in China, the world’s most populous country, however academics estimate that China now has about 40 million homosexuals. The number means that two to three or more people are willing to choose the same-sex partner for every 100 hundred Chinese. This is a huge group of people that can not be ignored.
A survey by a Chinese gay (“Tongzhi” in Chinese) website created a list of the top 10 gayest cities in China and a short description of gay populations in each city. Check it below and let me know what you think of it by leaving comments below.

Sickening. A nauseating feeling when one wants to vomit. Purge.
This is the most incorrect or out of date info on the entire worldwide web! I live in Beijing and frequent Shanghai often as well as travel to Taipei and Hong Kong regularly. I chose to try Chongqing for a holiday and found only one gay club, with a cover charge of 380rmb for mandatory table which is more than 50euros. I speak fluent Chinese as a doctor in Beijing. Even on grindr and other apps I kept picking up chengdu guys as there were very few in Chongqing even without filter
