Beijing is an international cosmopolitan city that offers an incredible variety of experiences and lifestyle choices to residents and visitors alike. Now in it’s second year, the That’s Beijing Lifestyle Awards aim to showcase the very best of what the city has to offer, by celebrating and giving recognition to those who have made their mark on the capital.

With categories spanning health, beauty, fitness, life & style, nightlife, bars and clubs we want to hear which establishments and individuals have been shaping your life here in Beijing.

This year’s nominees have been carefully selected and our voting site is now live! Now it's up to you to decide who will come out on top and be crowned lifestyle kings and queens.

Voting closes at 11:59pm on June 24 and the winners will be announced at our exclusive awards ceremony on Thursday, June 30. Until then, we'll be introducing the categories and rounding up the nominees each week. Today we look at Beijing's thriving nightlife, bar and club scene.
