Nightlife in China: a Shanghai City Bar Street Walk | 4K China 上海酒吧街

Within China, Shanghai is famous for its nightlife. Compared to other Chinese cities, the nightlife scene in Shanghai should be unparalleled. Or is it? As Shanghai City is still recovering from various lockdowns, the Shanghai of summer 2022 can feel like it’s being rebuild from the ground up. And still, the boys and girls of China’s largest city know where to find their drinks and fun on a weekend night out.

First we walk our way through Maoming North Road, a bar street just off Nanjing West Road, where the constant noise of construction work at night doesn’t seem to bother the locals. This bar street leads to Wujiang Road, a night market where those who prefer shopping over drinking go for their nighttime fun.

We finish our Shanghai night walk on a stretch of Nanjing West Road with luxury brand shops on both sides for a more relaxed evening stroll. Walk east all the way from here and you’ll end up on the Bund (see our previous Shanghai video for that!)

This China walk was filmed on Friday 9 September 2022, on a late summer night Shanghai. Listen through headphones for immersive China city sounds (binaural audio)!

🇨🇳 Chinese introduction: 上海著名的南京路步行街实际分为两段，严格意义上直通外滩的步行街是南京东路，以西藏中路为界，往西还有一条大型shopping mall林立的南京西路，这里也是非常繁华摩登的购物天堂。南京东路步行街和外滩是外地游客朝圣上海滩的不二景点，相较于此，南京西路及其附近的夜市、小吃街、酒吧更是上海本地年轻人休闲购物的聚集地。

本次视频的拍摄地就位于南京街西路及其周边的夜市和酒吧街。这次访沪印象最深的之一是繁华闹市区随处可见的施工围档。个人揣测可能也是在闹市区、人流聚集地，控制大规模人群聚集的一种措施吧，也透露出解封后上海社会中一种似有若无的紧张感。但是懂生活的上海人还是在努力营造和享受这来之不易的夏日休闲时光。
