The year is rapidly coming to an end. And as we stated in our December issue we’re kind of glad to leave 2016 behind and start anew. From Trump to Brexit, 2016 was a strange year. But it's almost over, and luckily there are a ton of parties going on in Beijing this New Year’s Eve – so we can bid ado to 2016 on high note. Wherever you end up ringing in 2017, let’s all make sure to raise a glass of bubbly and toast to a new (and hopefully better) year. Oh and if you're looking to splurge on a special dinner before partying the night away, check out our guide to Beijing's best New Year's feasts.
The Migas Soundsystem x Club Paradise
Migas is known for their epic New Year’s Eve parties and this one’s going to be no different… because legendary DJ Spinna will be on the decks. He’ll no doubt keep the party going all night long.
