Shanghai Fuxing INS – All Access Ticket for 7 nightclubs
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Shanghai Pub Crawl · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Seven clubs, one ticket, zero guesswork. Fuxing INS is the big-name nightlife strip in Shanghai, loved by young locals, and this all-access pass is built for speed and variety. With it, you move through seven famous clubs across six floors in a single night.
What I like most is the practical setup: you get access to Freshman, HUSH, RADi, Culture Club, DIRTY HOUSE, FRiENDS, LA FIN, and ANOTHER SIDE, plus a drink at each stop. I also like the special bonus built into the plan—FRiENDS (5F) includes unlimited drink, so you’re not just “sampling,” you can actually settle in.
One consideration: this isn’t a gentle intro or guaranteed a guided nightlife “tour.” It’s primarily a ticket purchasing service, and entry depends on the official rules for that night—missing an early time window can cause trouble, and the ticket is only valid for the specific night.

Key things to know before you buy

- Seven clubs across six floors: plan for a true crawl night, not one venue.
- Drink plan included: you get a drink at each club stop, plus unlimited at FRiENDS (5F).
- Best for locals-style partying: Fuxing INS is mainly popular with young Chinese clubgoers.
- You buy online, one way or another: official tickets are sold through WeChat or their official app.
- Service helps when payment is the blocker: especially if you don’t have a Chinese phone number or can’t finish card payment.
- Price changes by night: Wednesday/Thursday/Sunday are cheaper than Friday/Saturday.
Why Fuxing INS works so well for a single-night itinerary

Fuxing INS is one of Shanghai’s best-known nightclub clusters, and the logic behind this ticket is simple: you don’t need to pick one club and hope it’s the perfect fit. You can bounce across venues quickly, which is huge if your group has mixed tastes or different energy levels.
The pass is also designed around the building layout: you’re going up and down floors through the INS zone, hitting multiple clubs in one evening. That matters because nightlife in a big city can turn into logistics—taxis, lines, and backtracking. Here, the structure is already doing the routing for you.
And because the ticket includes drinks per stop, the rhythm of the night feels built-in. You’re not constantly recalculating value. You can spend more time deciding what to stay for and less time budgeting each move.

Your club lineup: what’s included on each floor

This all-access ticket covers eight venue names, but the pass is described as access to seven clubs across six floors, so think of it as a curated path through the INS building complex rather than a free-for-all. The included clubs and floors are:
- Freshman (B1–1F)
- HUSH (2F)
- RADi (3F)
- Culture Club (4F)
- DIRTY HOUSE (4F)
- FRiENDS (5F)
- LA FIN (6F)
- ANOTHER SIDE (6F)
Two details help you plan your night. First, 4F and 6F each include more than one venue, so you can adjust on the fly without losing the whole evening. Second, since your included drink structure changes the value by floor, FRiENDS becomes your “anchor stop” (more on that next).
If you want a smooth night, I’d treat it like this: start lower, then work upward as you find the vibe that fits. When you reach FRiENDS on 5F, that’s where you can slow down a little because the drink situation is better there than at other stops.
The drink value that makes this pass feel fair

Most nightlife passes sound good on paper, then you discover drinks aren’t really handled. This one is clearer. The ticket includes a drink at each club on your crawl, and FRiENDS (5F) includes unlimited drink.
That’s the part I’d call out if you’re trying to judge value. If you’re comparing this pass to buying single-entry tickets and paying bar prices separately, the “free-flow” behavior at FRiENDS (5F) can be the difference between an expensive night and a controlled one.
A practical tip: unlimited at one venue doesn’t mean you should ignore pacing. Your included drink at every stop is still there, and the point of this pass is variety. So you can use FRiENDS as your reset moment—hang longer there, then keep moving when you’re ready.
Also, this is nightlife, so pace yourself either way. The pass gives you options; it doesn’t erase the reality that you’ll be on your feet and moving between floors.
Entering the INS zone: what the ticket purchase really involves
Here’s the key reality: the official tickets are sold online using WeChat or the official app. If you can’t handle that—maybe you don’t have a Chinese phone number, or your card payment doesn’t work—this service exists to handle the purchase part for you.
That’s why the ticket is described as a purchasing service rather than a full guided night. No extra in-venue guide service is included, and pickup/drop-off isn’t offered. You’ll still need to handle your own movements through the area once you’re in.
The experience provider is Shanghai Pub Crawl, and based on the available review, the service quality on the “get the tickets done” side is a big reason people feel confident. One review specifically called out Tony as reliable and said he booked the tickets after the customer paid him.
So if your main worry is: Will I be able to actually buy the right ticket for the right night?—this pass directly targets that worry.
Price and what you should expect to pay by night
Let’s talk money honestly. The platform price you see (like the $1 you might notice when booking) is only a deposit. The real ticket amount follows official pricing for the night you choose.
Official ticket prices currently are:
- Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday: ¥168, plus 8% booking service = ¥180 RMB
- Friday, Saturday: ¥288, plus 8% booking service = ¥310 RMB
Now the “value” angle: using a purchasing service usually costs more than buying the official tickets yourself on WeChat, and the info you have here says the service fee can’t use coupons. If you already know how to buy official nightclub tickets through WeChat, you might save money by doing it yourself.
So who is this best for?
- You’ll likely get the most value if you can’t complete official payment smoothly.
- You’ll likely question value if you can buy directly yourself and you’re comfortable doing so.
One more note: official prices can change, and if a well-known lineup performs that night, there may be an extra charge. The final price is tied to the official rate for the day you’re going.
Timing: the 7-hour plan and why day selection matters
The activity is listed as 7 hours, with starting times that depend on availability. Your choice of night also matters because prices differ, and entry rules can be strict.
One caution I’d give you: the info you have flags that “early sessions” exist with very strict entry times. If you miss the time, it can lead to misunderstandings. This service does not help book those early sessions, so stick with the standard access option for your night.
For planning, treat this as a full-night activity. Even if your schedule has a dinner or pregame nearby, build buffer time. In nightlife zones, lines and crowd flow can vary, and you’re moving between multiple floors.
How to plan your crawl so you actually enjoy it
A ticket like this can either feel like freedom or chaos. The difference is how you structure your night.
Here’s a simple approach that fits this pass:
- Pick one or two “focus floors” and let the rest be flexible.
- Use FRiENDS (5F) as the longer stop because it includes unlimited drink.
- If you’re splitting your group, decide in advance who’s staying where—because once you’re moving, it’s harder to regroup.
Also, remember the pass is aimed at people who want the INS scene. It’s mainly popular among young locals. That doesn’t mean you won’t fit in if you’re older—but the energy and crowd style are a big part of the point.
The ticket isn’t suitable for children under 18 and isn’t suitable for people over 55, according to the provided rules. So if your party includes anyone outside those ranges, you’ll want to adjust plans.
So, is it worth booking? The practical decision
I think this is worth booking when you fall into one of these situations:
- You want variety across several well-known clubs but you don’t want the stress of choosing one.
- You’re willing to do a crawl-style night with stairs and crowd movement.
- Your biggest headache is buying the official ticket through WeChat or the official app—this service is built around solving that.
I’d skip (or buy directly) if:
- You already have the ability to purchase official tickets yourself smoothly on WeChat or the official app.
- You’re hoping for a truly guided experience with deep local explanations. This is not described as a tour guide in the venue.
- You’re considering early-session entry windows and need flexibility. Early sessions are strict, and this service doesn’t help with that.
One more “real talk” point: because the ticket can’t be refunded and is valid only for the night of use, choose your date carefully. That’s not unique to this pass, but it matters here because timing is the whole game.
