We have another week until October's national holiday (October 1-5), but wooo(!) it's a three-day weekend. If you haven't flown out to Thailand yet, there's still things to do here in the city. JZ Festival, stand-up comedy, Shanghai Queer Film Festival, PHOTOFAIRS and more. Read on for our pick of ten things that'll hold you over until the long holiday.

Shanghai’s longest-running jazz fest is back with a new location but the same old smooth jazz vibes. The Original Gypsies (featuring former members of the Gipsy Kings) are the main attraction this year as part of a bill that comes with a little lower star wattage compared with previous years. As ever, it’s rounded out by local jazz acts including JZ’s Big Band and they’ll be running effectively the same line-up over each day of the fest.
