Is it me or does this look like the quickest last minute, "we have to get a Salsa Festival before the end of the year" organization with nothing more than a few days of promotion??
Yes, over the past couple of weeks I've heard some rumors that Shanghai would have a Festival, but nobody in the know-how knew the details or anything along those lines.
I hope that their Festival is successful but in order to have a QUALITY festival, one needs more than just a couple of weeks of notice. Looking at the schedule, I could not help but laugh when I read that there will be a MAGIC SHOW?? and a 'surprise' contest of merengue and bachata. I think the real SURPRISE is that this Festival is really going to happen. Actually, after looking at the schedule for a 2nd time, it seems that this should not be called a Festival but rather an end-of-the-year Salsa Christmas Celebration.
Having said that, I wish the organizers the best and hope that they have a good turnout and make this a yearly event with better planning and advanced notice.
Below is the information as I received it.

Beijing Salsa Festival (2005)
I remember my first trip to Beijing back in 2001 and being surprised to find Salsa. At the time salsa was to be found at SALSA CABANA. Unfortunately that location is now a car dealeship. But the good news is that Salsa in Beijing is stronger than ever. You can find Salsa dancing 7 days a week.
Now to the really good news, Beijing is having their fist Salsa Festival this November. I am really glad to see that this is taking place and this surely puts Beijing once again on the MAP among the salsa community.
For more informatio CLICK HERE. Below is the list of their schedule of events.
If you make it there, please let us know how it goes.

Wednesday/Saturday Salsa in Taipei
Want to Salsa on a Wednesday or Saturday night? Then head out to Barrio. They have salsa lessons around 9:00pm and then the Salsa dancing starts. It's a good place to go Salsa dancing but on Saturdays they only play Salsa until midnight.
I tried their food but I do NOT recomend it.
