In 1998, a small group of people threw a rave near the Great Wall and couldn`t have imagined it would still be happening in 2026.
On May 16–17, @greatwallfestival hosted its first Great Wall Festival since the pandemic: three stages, China`s most legendary DJs, and thousands of people moving together on ancient stone. The Great Wall became the main character, not the backdrop: a national symbol being actively reclaimed and rewritten by Chinese youth, on their own terms.
Almost 20 years later, the same passion is still here. Just bigger, louder, and with better speakers.

A 1981 Chinese papercut animation about a fake flutist is going viral on Instagram, shared recently by @filmhotpot
Nan Guo Xian Sheng (南郭先生) was made by Shanghai Animation Film Studio using a technique from the 90s: hand-cut paper figures designed off Han dynasty stone carvings (~200 BC) and shadow puppets. The clip is racking up likes because what the studio was doing with composition, color, and pacing 45 years ago is something we miss nowadays.
Maybe we have just finally grown tired of the perfect visual language of AI-generated imagery, and are longing to return to the roughness and detail of hand-drawn craft.

We’re back with another SLICE FOR A SLICE 🍕, our interview series where creatives share life stories over a slice of pizza.
For our second guest, we sat down with arguably Hong Kong’s busiest multi-hyphenate businesswoman, Lindsay Jang (@lindsayjang ) to banter about East vs West, how leaving Asia makes you miss Asia, why people are so drawn to opening up shop in Hong Kong, and more.
From opening Hong Kong’s most coveted modern izakaya restaurant, Yardbird, over two decades ago, to the recent and already bustling seasonal Japanese diner, Always Joy, to the globally popular heated mat-based sculpt program, Family Form, Lindsay has done it all and then some. And all it took was offering her favorite pizza flavor — pineapple — to get her to drop everything to chat with us. 🍍 🍕
The full episode drops soon on YouTube — follow us so you don’t miss it!

Cedar Kitchen (@cedarshanghai ) has maximized the meaning of "kitchen", and made it as expansively Chinese as the word can hold. Here, it`s not just the best shawarma in Shanghai. It`s great music, AV sets, and most importantly, a sweet family built around Julu Road.
At @cedarshanghai, founder shala (@v.vshala ) has built a home for Shanghai`s experimental arts scene: a place where you can set up a market stall, catch a live set, take in an audio-visual performance, and leap from the second-floor pole dance stage straight down into the kitchen to grab your shawarma. Everyone here is free to create, to live on their own terms, without worrying about anything.
That energy is probably why shala`s Shanghai city guide reads the way it does: loose, unplanned, a little unpredictable. As he puts it: "People there living out of the system in their own ways. I like this kind of honest spots although they surely not perfect."
This is shala`s Shanghai city guide: spontaneous, full of unexpected encounters, but always finding the spark within them. Just like the warmth and openness, he brings to Cedar Kitchen. 🌯

Here’s one line to sum up Shanghai nightlife’s latest shift: you’re going club hopping, but each spot is just a 2-min walk.
Shanghai is building out actual nightlife clusters.
After this started appearing across the city center,@alter.shanghai , @heimshanghai , and @socialsupplyshanghai — each originally connected to completely different communities — decided to come together for an event at a warehouse far from
downtown, with stage design by @kekexiili , What began as a single event gradually became another kind of cluster: scenes, sounds, and crowds that don’t usually share the same dancefloor, colliding all in one place. With so many elements fused together, with your choice on what to enjoy, they aptly titled the event: UP TO U.
It reminds us that the nights you actually remember are never the ones you planned; sometimes the best nights are the ones you never defined.
