Ziran Feng (Natural Wind)
Wulin Square, map and directions, 8185-5955. Hangzhou's newest gay bar, opened early December 2004, is smack dab in the middle of Wulin Square. Under the square, actually. When you get to the square, head straight for the large fountain in the middle. Just a few meters away are the front and back entrances to this underground bar. It's not as busy as some other bars, but the location is tops and it's great for relaxing and talking, never too loud inside. Doors open at 7pm, dancing starts after 10pm, and stays open until 1-2am most nights.
Comments from Utopians:
"Ziran Feng is in a great location. It could be a great and cozy place for comfortable sitting and chatting but it is VERY loud (always) which makes it difficult to chat if you want to meet a friend for a beer or if you happen to meet a new friend. A great mix of all ages and nationalities, but I find that many young girly guys have taken over. However, manly men come in often enough to keep me going there...for now." -- richardw3, Nov 26, 2006
"Ziran Feng is rather karaoke bar, two male dancers perform in the evenings." -- Francois, Dec 17, 2005
"Just wanted to mention that Ziran Feng Bar has a Canadian guy who speaks Chinese there so English-speakers won't have any problems communicating." -- ChinaDays, Jan 21, 2005 |
