Xintiandi Bar Street Overview & Map Weather Transportation Information
Shanghai did not earn the nickname "Paris of the Orient" without good reason. Amongst the Chinese, its reputation, like New York City's, is one of endless nights. It is not far from the truth as many bars stay open until 4a.m. and later. Xintiandi is often packed into the dawn while the clubs continue thumping away throughout the early morning.
Ancient Shikumen (Stone Gate)
Xintiandi is the eating, shopping and amusement center with the Shikumen (Stone Gate) as the main architectures. Shikumen (Stone Gate), a unique blend of Chinese and Western architectural features were born during the 1920s and 1930s. Meandering in Xintiandi as if the time turns back to the old Shanghai - ancient building, aged flagging, the red brick wall, the massive black gate... All these bring people back to the 1920s and 1930s of this city.
Perfect fusion of "old and new"
Xintiandi is a great success of combing the ancient architecture with the modern life. Now it is a state-of-the-art warren of upscale shops, bars and restaurants based on the theme of "where old meets new." Here you find the oddly complimentary combination of the traditional houses of old Shanghai (the Shikumen) hosting ultra modern restaurants, bars and shops. The exterior of these shikumen style houses of 1920's Shanghai have been tastefully restored, while inside they have been fully renovated to accommodate the tastes of the modern Westerner.
The fashionable bar street
As a hot bar street, Xintiandi is an ideal place to go for a drink or to have dinner. Many bars, restaurants, cafe houses have both indoor and outdoor seats. It has a more active nightlife than Hengshan Road and it is busy in both weekdays and weekends. Whenever the dark falls down, Xintiandi will be bright and all the lights will start to work. The wonderful Xintiandi nightlife supersedes its busy day life.
Enjoy the colorful nightlife
Xintiandi is most famous for its nightlife when the Western style bars open their doors for business. No doubt every westerner that comes to Shanghai will pay at least one visit here, if not more. When night falls on, handsome boys and beautiful girls stroll leisurely; young white collars discuss their work or talk about life; even hard questions on the desk get solved here. Xintiandi should be visited late in the afternoon, when locals and foreigners come here to have something to eat and drink. On weekends the areas is at its busiest. All seats are packed of joyful people. Walking along the charming bar street, you find everything traditional but modern, western and trendy. There is a great conclusion for two kinds of people whom like to be here: The one likes to look at or the one likes to be looked at.
