China Gay Travel Resources

At Purple Roofs, we list thousands of gay and lesbian owned and friendly accommodations around the world - bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals, hotels, guest houses, and much more. We also list hundreds of gay and lesbian friendly travel agents and tour operators.

Unlike many other travel directories, Purple Roofs is not a simple repackaging of mainstream hotel chains for the gay and lesbian market (though we do have a couple of the gay-friendliest) - instead, we offer thousands of locally owned accommodations that you won't find in one place anywhere else.

This is our China Gay Travel section - here, you'll find China gay friendly and lesbian and gay owned bed and breakfasts, inns, hotels, vacation rentals, and other accommodations. We also list China travel agents and tour operators, as well as local gay travel events, gay travel news, and much more.

At Purple Roofs, we list thousands of gay friendly and gay owned accommodations, and yours could be next. If your accommodations welcome the LGBT community, add them here.

Hong Kong has long been famed as one of the more tolerant areas of Asia, especially compared to its authoritarian cousin over on the mainland. While gay residents still don't enjoy the full spectrum of rights, there's very little practical possibility of being savagely beaten up, harassed or threatened - at least no more so than in any Western country. All of... read_more

Visiting China Part 4 of 4 - A Few Thoughts About Traveling in China

Dec 20th, 2012

China, traveling as a tourist, has no outward signs of being a communist run country. It appears as a successful capitalist country. Nearly everyone has an iPhone.

Busy locals with big cars purchasing their first owned condo home (purchased from the government... read_more

Gay Travel: Beijing for the First Time

Sep 12th, 2012

A friend who spent most of his career writing about high-end travel told me recently that if there's one thing people don't want on a trip, it is surprises. Now, maybe everybody doesn't feel that way; personally, I like the unexpected, figuring that it's part of the adventure. But when the location is remote or the language challenging, then a... read_more
