Brown Sugar Jar

Shenzhen


The long-established Brown Sugar Jar has several locations in Shenzhen, but this is its main live house, a cavernous, warehouse-style space buried deep in Shekou district that hosts local and overseas folk, indie and alternative acts most weekends from 9pm.

Check the website (Chinese only but visual enough to navigate) to find out what's on.
