Shanghai Night Out

What You'll Experience

Shanghai nights are an argument that the city is most fully itself after dark — when the neon of the French Concession reflects in rain-wet streets, when the speakeasy behind the Sichuan restaurant is impossible to find without someone who knows the knock, when the bilingual stand-up comedian on a tiny stage is performing material that only makes sense if you understand both the Chinese and the English cultural references simultaneously. Your companion builds the evening around your group's energy: a Negroni at a rooftop bar above the Bund, then a walk to a hutong-adjacent lane where a microbrewery operates out of a former colonial villa, then the comedy show or a live jazz set at an Art Deco venue that looks like 1937 preserved in amber. The city's night economy is one of its great achievements — and unlike Tokyo or New York, you can navigate all of it in a 2-kilometer radius.
