Vibes Venue or Nightclub is located in the famous Art-scene hotspot Factory 798 at Chaoyang's Dashanzi Art District of Beijing. A former factory now converted into a giant art mall, gallery, atelierspace and showcase, the DAD complex ( Factory 798 ) is rather hard to find. Especially at night.

overpass from the 3rd ring road = beginning of airport expressway, which is just past Holiday Inn Lido.
This should bring you onto Da Shan Zi roundabout. Cross the roundabout and turn Left (= North) onto Jiu Xian Qiao Lu. The Entrance to DAD and the Factory can be found on your right hand after a 150 meters or so.
This is an inconspicuous Factory-like gate, but usually there is a guard on hand which alarms you to the fact there is indeed something living there.
Vibes is found inside this Gate and Lane, some 100 meters down and to the right. At night taxis may loiter in this road. It is usually easy to hail a cab and get home.
Instruction 2) If you take a taxi to Vibes at Night, which you likely will, be sure the taxi driver is familiar with the Factory location. Take a map for instructions. Otherwise you might get lost at night in a former industrial area.

An invited DJ breaking away on the Vibes of Beijing. The party keeps on going in this mixpot, very underground but truely International Party
as advertised.
Spacious, hard to find at this former Militairy Electronics Factory Complex,
