The short version. Pianist and composer Xia Jia (夏佳) plays East Shore Jazz Club with his quartet on 5 September, 21:00–23:00, by Houhai lake. The listing describes a set blending Eastern and Western musical influences. Booking runs through QR codes printed on the event poster, and no ticket price has been published.

What is on

The Beijinger lists the concert as an Editor's Pick under Music. Xia Jia is described as a famed pianist and composer, appearing here with his quartet. The organiser's own wording promises smooth late-night vibes; beyond the East–West framing, no set list, support act or programme detail has been released.

Time and place

East Shore Jazz Club, by Houhai lake. The event runs 21:00–23:00 on 5 September, with the listing separately noting a 9:00 PM start. Nothing has been published about doors, seating, a minimum spend, or an age policy. Travel directions and journey times are not given in the listing.

Getting in

This is the part worth reading twice. The only booking route the organiser gives is: scan the QR codes on the poster for the official WeChat account, RED, and ticket reservations. That means reservations sit behind Chinese social platforms rather than a web page you can open from abroad.

The organiser has not published any of the following, so plan on the assumption that you will have to ask:

the ticket price, or whether there is a cover charge at all;
whether a WeChat or RED account is required to reserve, or whether foreign-registered accounts work;
whether a Chinese mobile number is needed to complete a booking;
whether real-name registration or passport details are required;
whether non-Chinese payment cards are accepted;
whether walk-ins are possible without a reservation, and any booking deadline.

A telephone number is listed — 010-84032131 — and it is the only channel given that does not route through an app. If your access to WeChat or RED is uncertain, that is the number to try before travelling across town.

This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.

Status: name_zh: only the artist's Chinese name 夏佳 appears in the text; no Chinese event title given.
