A gay choir, a guy singing Chinese pop song in a high soprano, about six other soloists (some off-key), plus swimwear modeling (i.e. hot bods), even a sax player. Come for dinner with the Rainbow League as it celebrates the second anniversary of its foreign language salons, as in gay English Corner, and groups practicing Japanese, Cantonese and other languages/dialects. A nice way to sample gay life among mostly white collar, young Chinese men, at a reasonable hour.

Cost: 35 yuan each, at the restaurant near People's Square Shenzhonglou, that has become gay Central.
