 Nanjing

Cruising areas at your own risk:
The street behind Shanghai Lu, or behind the Xi Yuan, the international students' dormitory of Nanjing University. At night, you can always walk along the dark part of the street and find men lined up waiting for an.encounter. These men seem to be the nicest and safest out of all the "cruising" spots in Nanjing.

Fu Zi Miao. If you're looking at the main gate (Da Men Kou) there is a bus staion to the left which, after dark, turns into a spot scattered with guys wanting a quickie or perhaps something more. Do NOT trust anyone you meet at this kind of place. The men seem to be untrustworthy and perhaps would beat you or steal from you. This is not true for all, of course, but especially if you are foreign--WATCH
YOURSELF CAREFULLY!

The famous Tequila Bar. Frequented by many foreign businesspeople and students...as well as prostitutes, both male and female.  This bar is really sleezy and, again, don't trust too many people you meet here.

Scarlet's bar on Beijing Xi Lu is also popular with foreign students (mostly on the weekends) and it's rumored that the boss from there is also gay. His staff is full of young, cute boys.

The Piano Bar near Xin Jie Kou is owned by a gay Taiwanese guy who has the most beautiful, young, polite boys working for him.
