We just have been informed about a crazy story about a guy had trouble in Angels Bar in Heng Shan Lu, than was get robbed by the stuff and some guards, had to go home without money, even without shoes. worth to read about his experience: shanghai girls bar trouble

If you visit the massage parlors in the wei fang lu area, could be you would have seen some of the "official" trucks with a lot of stuff coming out to "invite" the girls to a private interview in the police station. this will happen from time to time, but you can be sure after some days everything will go back to normal. 

If you stay in a hotel in new year time and you want to be visit by a girl or take a girl up to your room, better be prepared to show her ID-Card. A lot of hotels now will ask for it, if "someone" go to the room later than 10:30 pm or stay in the room longer than 10:30 pm.

after some month of research and check, we are proud to invite you to our new page: www.beijing-nightlife-guide.com. there is less sauna action in beijing, but we already found a good network of small massage parlors, also some real (but expensive) independent escort girls and also several agencies. we also found some nice pick up places in beijing, so just visit the page and help us to extend the information with your tips and comments. 

after some days of closed doors, the most sauna places in Shanghai went back to normal business now. there was a rumor last week, that because of a visit of some "officials" all special service shops in Shanghai had to close. Seems the reason left or changed, because now stop the step all well know Sauna or BBS-Shops go back to normal business again. 

a interesting news we found on Shanghai Daily Magazin. a guy has been arrested, because he pretend to be a policeman, went into a barbershop and catched a japanese expat. he threatend him to bring him to police and in trouble, so this guy paid him 10 000 RMB for fine to avoid more problem. so this has been published now in chinese media (for example here), so we are sure there will be a lot of other guys start with this kind of business now, so better be carefull. 

warning: when you leave manhattan bar and other places around, a lot of hookers (most of them old and ugly ;-) will come around and try to offer you "cheap" deals. please be carefull, because same time they will try to steal your money. this problem getting more and more serious the last weeks, so we place a warning here.

seems at the moment there is another official conference in shanghai, so yesterday there was a police raid in the Manhattan Club again. Around 11:30 they asked all girls out, checked papers and passport and also some male customers had to show passport. but seems no one really get trouble by that, so keep relaxed.

we now changed the structure of our webpage to optimize it for your mobile devices. on your mobile phone you will find the menue on the button of every page, so you first will find a clear structure on your screen, if you want to go to another kategory, just crawl down and select what you are looking for.

nearly one year ago "old" tong ren lu bar street has been closed. long time da tong mill (a new underground area) has been called the new hotspot for girls bars. now one year later, we can say this strategy failed. first bars there already closed, but unfortunaly there is no other hotspot like that any more. some bars now try to go back to the old area, so you will woodstock, gogo china and flying dragon near to the manhattan club and we guess, other bars will follow, so this area will be the future hotspot. 

seems the area around manhattan bar will be the future hotspot again. also the flying dragon bar (famous for the most beautiful girls in shanghai and well known from "old tong ren lu" moved there now. there is a rumor, that also woodstock bar will move in this area soon. so could be this area will be the new hotspot. unfortunaly the da tong mill area still has not enough customers, so if woodstock will be the first one leave this area, could be others will follow.

you will find out, that a lot of locations (like massage places) are closed at the moment. seems there is a countrywide activity to close a lot of shops offer "special service". but at the end still a lot of places going on with business like usual, expecially the shops with chinese and japanese target groups. Seems most of the shops that are recommanded on international web pages will get problems, so we will spend some effort to find "hidden" clubs for you and publish them on the member area.

one of our visitors told us, he was in a Shanghai Sauna place, while a crackdown happend. seems they did not want to cause any trouble to the western customers, only asked them to leave the place, but not even check the passport information or something like that, so no need to be scared about that, if you are not a girl working there or the manager of the sauna.

seems at the moment a lot of the Shanghai sauna places don`t offer special service any more. looks like they are afraid about crackdown, so they only offer food massage service. we will inform you here as soon as the places will go back to normal service.

a very interesting case happend in Shanghai last year. a guy was killed in a dispute with a prostitute. now the insurance company did not want to pay compensation for the widow (400 000 RMB). reason: the insurance don`t have to pay for cases, they happend in course of a crime. now end of last year, the pudong new area people's court decided: prostitute visiting goes against social morality. but it doesn't violate the criminal law. that is what we all hope if we will get problems one day in china ;-)

a lot of our visitors asked as, if it is true that you can not take girls to your hotel room any more. so we went to manhattan bar and asked some of the girls if they had any problems till now. they told us, sometimes they have to show there passport (but could be it is also a security reason to protect the guest, because than the girls can not steal anything without getting problems later). but no one of the girls had problem to go to the hotel room with customers till now. so seems the new rule is handled in the chinese way again...... the rule exist, but no one care about it, so enjoy!

one more of the "old tong ren lu" bars reopend. judy`s lounge closed and the location was take over by the hot angels (with a lot of hot angels). the location is xi kang lu 99, very near to the nan yang lu. not more than 2 minutes to walk from manhattan bar.

as we reported before, the "better city" also means, a lot of nightlife entertainment has been shut down (like the barber shops or the bar street in tong ren lu), but also the existing nightlife is influenced. nearly all clubs have reduced opening hours now. the clubs like muse or paramount close at 2 am now, also on weekend. so nearly the only places you still can dance the night away are the manhattan club and most of the girls bars still close very late. in da tong mill the nightshift and extasy bar will be opend till 6 or 7 am, near manhattan the blue sky bar also will be close 6.30 or later and in hua shan lu you will also find some bars will not close before 7 am. the hottest location we found is dragon club, that will close 12 o`clock noon time ;-))

we found a nice picture that will tell you very clear, what you should have in mind if you meet girls in Shanghai ;-)

the new hotspot in the underground (da tong mill), especial for the expo, to hide all the "dirty" business in the underground now almost finished. Only two bars and one club still under construction, but you will find a lot of different bars there, starting from big and small girls bars, up to japanese bars, some classic bars, but also a chinese dance club and a gay club and gay bar. and all together in a posh and clean environment, so now should be the right time to visit it. unfortunately it seems that this news did not travel up to all the visitors of the "old" tong ren lu, so now only very less customers there. but we are sure, it will change soon, because the place is exactly what shanghai needs!

who ever visit shanghai the last year, will remember the funny "barber shops" with red light inside and a lot of girls there waiting for customers need a special haircut ;-). if you will come to shanghai now, you will find nearly no shops like that any more. seems "a better life, better city" (related to the expo 2010 in shanghai) also means a life without barber shops. still very less survide, but you will not found the red light any more, so they try to hide, but if a lot of girls inside and no place for haircut, than could be you are right (find the last places as a member of our page)

if you visit the manhattan bar last week, you would be surprised not to find any thai and phillipine girls there. seems the police checked the bar for prostitutes, so a lot of girls did not go there this day. someone told us, after the police left (2 am), the girls come back. but it was only one day, so no need to be afraid to spend lonesome nights now....

as a result of the "expo-cleaning-the.-city-process", also the rules for table dancing in shanghai changed now. it is not allowed to dance in sexy "swimwear" any more. now the girls will wear very normal clothes, also the dancing pole-dance is not allowed any more. so you will see very normal girls dancing on the bar in very normal clothes.... funny to watch, but not really hot.

now because of a new goverment guideline in shangai, it will be very hard to bring a guest to your hotel room. seems there is a rule, that the hotel security will not allowed you to bring a guest without register her to your room. for the registration, the guest has to arrive with you before 11 pm and also has to show a passport. every not registered guest will be stopped by the guards. we guess, only the western hotels will follow this rules, but we are sure, it will be nearly impossible to book a chinese small hotel in the expo-time (last year in "olympic-time", no small chinese hotel was allowed to rent out rooms to guest without chinese passport).

could be you allready realized, that all the shanghai forum will not publish to hot news or comments, so one german guy who did not want to accept this any more just installed a definitly "free" forum, which will not be censored. Just check out this link: Schanghai Forum (only german language at the moment). you will also find a lot of usefull informations for expats new in shanghai.

after some year great nightlife entertainment highlight, the tong ren lu bar building has been closed this weekend. seems this is also part of the strategy: "clean the city for the expo". now an institution for fun and hot nights has been disapeared. there is a romer, that a new, but similar location will be open in ju le lu underground soon, but seems till now not a lot of bar owners trust the new location. but we will try to update you about the relocation process and we will try to tell you where you can find your favorate bar now. check here from time to time: tong ren lu bars moved where?
