China - Shanghai

Regional Community

About the Shanghai Regional Group

In the famed Asian Mega-City with over 20 million inhabitants our events brings and meet-ups cover a network of Burners from Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo. Shanghai burners are members of various playa theme camps. We make plans to meet-up with other China-based Burners on the Playa each year. In 2012 three Shanghai Burners camped together, possibly the earliest formation of a Shanghai Theme Camp. Together they visited the Chinese Speaker’s Tea Party to meet the hosts from other regions such as Beijing.

A Message from the Founder of Dragon Burn

In June of 2014 my dream of seeing a regional satellite burn take place here in China came true – on an island in ancient Lake Tai 300 Chinese and foreign participants came to DragonBurn for three days and two nights of music,art, and performance. In 2015 Dragon Burn was held on a pristine lake in Anji in Anhui province 4 hours from Shanghai, with more artist participation and another fantastic effigy burn.  

This year on Mayday we will return to Anji for our seventh regional Burn! Shanghai and China burners will be back at the Playa in Nevada this year.  Tickets are available very soon!

Please support us by visiting the DragonBurn site and our Facebook page.
