Cultural tips

Since the 1990s, “Bar culture” gradually emerged in Chinese metropolises. The growth of the bar industry has a close relationship with the development of China’s economy, society and culture. In more developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, the bar business is even more prosperous. Bars in Beijing are diverse in style. Bars in Shanghai are romantically attractive, and in Shenzhen, bars are never short of excitement and become the favorite places for young people to relax and for entertainment.
Beijing is the city with the greatest number of bars in China, and, in numerous styles. For instance, there is a “bus bar” renovated from a recycled bus; “football bars” with the theme of the sport; “cinema bars” where you can watch films and “artist bars” if you are in the artsy mood. Especially worth mentioning is the bar street around Shichahai Lake, which is also a nice boating area. Water, boats, bridges and bars… All these add a beautiful landscape to the attractiveness of Beijing, a city full of history.
