Nanluoguxiang · 南锣鼓巷

Type: Nightlife, Shopping, Cultural

This quaint little street (over a kilometer long) is packed with bars, cafes, restaurants and shops selling souvenirs and traditional crafts. Much more chill and reserved than the noisy bars in Houhai or the glitzy clubs around the Worker's Stadium (GongTi). In the summer many bars and restaurants here have rooftop seating.
