Low down, underground, a little bit camp, this after-hours haunt is a little hard to find but well worth the effort. Located way out in Dong Dan – hence the name – it attracts a hard-drinking crowd of regulars who like the dark subterranean setting reached via a deep red corridor. Inside it’s usually packed with an alternative crowd of students, artists and proto punks, here for cheap drinks, fun and flirting. It also still draws regulars from the days (or nights) that it used to host drag shows. For a slice of insider Beijing, DD is a good start.

Yugong Yishan – A Beijing classic!
愚公移山老字号!
Yugong Yishan is a Chinese proverb about a foolish man who wants to remove a mountain and who succeeds in it!
Yugong Yishan from 2004 to 2007 was a tiny live house located in a parking lot across the Worker’s stadium in Beijing. The venue was awarded best live house by That’s Beijing in 2005, 2006, 2007. It’s been a platform for local and international bands and party labels in an area predominated by mega discos and green lasers.
In July 2007 the bulldozers of the forthcoming Olympics have rolled over the place and turned it down. We had a big demolition celebration that night where everybody was dancing on the ruins!
In September 2007 Yugong Yishan was reborn from its ashes and celebrated its re-opening in a much bigger place right in the heart of Dongcheng district. Now located in former Ruifu lounge (Pingan Avenue) in the beautifull courtyard of Duanqirui government and after a big face lift, the venue now features a 500 m2 surface, a capacity for 800 to 1000 people, a 5 meters wide stage and a brand new sound system (Meyer Sound). Yugong Yishan is ready to rock!!
