Let the Ghosts Dance! Beijing Halloween Round up 2013

Halloween is a time when the hell raisers come forth and take control of our streets. When Death’s minions dance on our calm and ordered existence and leave in their wake a destruction of hangovers. But where to celebrate this night of madness? With no clear plan, your group could end up a misfit band of a dracula, a superhero, a filthy Disney princess and a toilet-paper wrapped mummy wandering the streets drinking a concoction of jingjiu and coffee from your nearest Xiaomaibu.

So to make your life easier and give you more time to create that killer outfit here is eChinacities’ Halloween roundup. Whether you are into fetish, hanging out in a ‘graveyard’ car park or just dancing to oblivion at an enormous costume party we have some blood-soaked options for you.
