Gay cruising in Dongdan

A few days ago, Danwei remarked on a Beijing News article about Dongdan Park — the capital’s best-known gay pick-up spot — that did not actually mention this well known aspect of the park.

Not everyone is so coy. Here for example is a QQ.com story about gays and HIV testing in China that claims there are five to ten million male homosexuals in China, with 300,000 in Beijing. A China Daily article that takes its numbers from the same sources says that there are 20 million male homosexuals in China..

Finally, here is a short video shot by Muzi Mei in Dongdan Park, in which she and a friend interview a policeman on the beat about the gay cruising scene in the park.
