In 2009, Aric Chen of "The New York Times" stated that the "epicenter" of the LGBT community is the "Gay Triangle," three bars in the French Concession. They are: Eddy's Bar () and Transit Lounge Shanghai (TL), both of which have closed, and Shanghai Studio. Wealthier and non-Chinese LGBT persons meet in areas in wealthier communities, while working class LGBT persons meet in less wealthy areas such as Hongkou District and Yangpu District.
