Q: Music scene in Beijing?

I'm really clueless about this, and have no idea where to go...

Any recommendations for good local bands or bars where I can hear some decent music? I'm mostly into alternative rock (not too loud), jazz and ambient stuff...

Beijing has quite a vibrant music scene.
- Yugong Yishan is great for attracting big-name local bands and international bands. Peaches played there last year for example.
- Mao Livehouse focuses more on local rock bands and it's usually full of Chinese kids sporting their nirvana t-shorts moshing.
- D22 is another music mainstay. They also heavily support the local music scene and university bands etc. although their monthly line-up is kinda repitive.
- Jiangjinjiu and Jianghu bar are good for folk and acoustic sets.
- 2Kolegas is another good live music venue and they seem to feature a lot of reggae and ska this summer, but they also put on rock and grunge shows as well as DJs.
- For jazz, the best spot is East Shore Jazz Live Cafe in Houhai, Hot Cat Club or CD's by Agricultural Exhibition Center.

They have live music inside the Brazilian Restaurant in the SOlana Mall. Last time I went there they had a female and two male musicians playing while everybody was eating and enjoying the music. They should still do that there you can expect to see them perform every night!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
