The first chilly blows from old Jack Frost have now arrived in the Capital, which, no doubt, has caused the shedding of a few tears by the muscle boys as they are finally forced to retire their tank tops until the darling buds of May return next spring. Until the nuanqi finally kicks in warming up our hearth and home, we will all be shivering in the less than sexy maoku. In order to save you from this awful fate of long woolen underwear and tube socks, Gayographic will be sponsoring the “Half n’ Half” erotic party this Friday at LAN Club that will be sure to get your blood hot and flowing till the central heating finally kicks in. LAN has booked three muscular and sexy boys to scamper around the bar wearing nothing but tight little boxer shorts. These boys will flirt, serve drinks and simply look gorgeous. The same deal of half priced drinks all evening

“Tea” Dance Party @ Lantung
Considering that most people are going back to work (oh nooooo…!) this Friday, Lantung will start its gay rooftop party a little earlier than usual this week. If you have partied hard like us, and everyone else, in the past eight days, this is the perfect way for all of us to slowly get back to our common senses without having to worry about staying out too late.
Time: 4pm till bedtime
Venue: Lantung Rooftop
Sixty and Still Fabulous, Darling
For those of you unlucky enough to still be in the Capital during the eight-day masturbatory celebrations by the Communist Party, we at Gayographic feel your pain because we are stuck here as well. Rather than hide at home in our underwear with a bottle of gin (our usual nightly activity), we have decided to continue with the Gayographic nights at Lantung and Lan Club on Thursday and Friday despite the holiday celebrations. The big day will be October 1st and Lantung will be setting up a big screen and outdoor seating for the fireworks display so you can safely watch the festivities from the other side of town, far away from the hordes and the chaos. As usual, two-for-one drink specials will be on offer all evening long
The Weather is Smoggy, Wish You Were Queer
For many of us living here in Beijing, the idea of a gay tour is usually nothing more than doing a quick walk around through the dark recesses of Destination on a Saturday night. However, there is a new tour guide company in Beijing that targets gay clients who are visiting China for some sightseeing and fun. ChinaMango was started in 2009 by a local Chinese who saw the need to provide specialized services (but not of any sexual kind!) for gay tourists. Jet from ChinaMango was convinced that gay tourists visiting the capital would like to visit gay-friendly establishments and meet local gay people during their sightseeing trips throughout Beijing. After a slow start, it seems that their idea is starting to pay off
Fridays: Fresh
Haven’t finalised plans for Friday night yet?
The Boat will be hosting a party of juicy beats, disco balls with an extra special twist of the good vibes for added measure.
Roll on Friday baby – hope to see you there.

Lantung & Gayographic Decide on Open Relationship
Following in the footsteps of some of the more progressive members of our community, Lantung and Gayographic have decided on a open relationship with their cocktails, but for one night only. At the end of this month, the Gayographic night at Lantung will have been an established part of the party circuit for six months. As in most long-term relationships, it is necessary to spice things up a little to rekindle the flames. So, to celebrate our anniversary and to thank all of you, our Gayographic hordes, next Thursday, September 10, Lantung and Gayographic will be offering an open bar on select drinks starting at 10pm till the booze runs out. To get the party really going,
LAN Goes Regular as Autumn Kicks-off
You guys have spoken and due to the popularity of our Friday night LAN Club parties, we are now making it a weekly event every Friday.
