The entertainment available in Daqing is similar to that in many Chinese cities, ranging from traditional performance art to modern nightclubs. The KTV boxes, cafes, cinemas and bars in Daqing are popular, though most visitors head to the city's vibrant squares and gardens when the sun goes down. Iron-Man Square is one of the busiest. The fountain in the centre of the square has a laser show set to music at night and in Times Square lantern shows and traditional performances are staged regularly.

Traditional Yangge dance is performed across the city throughout the year during the city's festivals and on Saturdays too, when gongs, drums, Suona horns and clashing cymbals accompany fan dancers wearing the folk costumes of northeast China at various venues across the city. There are two theaters in Daqing which hold performances of Yangge Dance, as part of a reasonably eclectic menu of performance arts.

More energetic visitors may wish to join the many Beijingers who flock up to Daqing in winter to take part in snow-sports at the Feitian Ski Resort. Activities include dog sledding, horse sledding, ice-skating and snowmobiling, as well as skiing and snowboarding.

The city observes all of the festivals familiar to Chinese visitors such as Chinese New Year and Spring Festival, but the Mongol festival of Nadam is one of the most important in Daqing, which has grown to encompass both Mongol traditions and those of the other large minority groups living in Daqing.
