Nanjing Nightlife

Qinhuai River at Night

l在哪里iveliest place in Nanjing after 10 p.m.? The local fashion elites would reply, "Nanjing 1912." It refers to an entertaining area in present Nanjing. One could see the Presidential Hall in this area where Dr. Sun Yet-sen, the forerunner of China's democratic revolution, had his presidential office erected in the year 1912. Seventeen well-preserved historical buildings from that period and four entertainment squares can be found in this area in today's Nanjing.

Nanjing 1912 is a blend of the old days in China and the modern styles of the West. Gray-bricked buildings, simple-styled balconies, floral-carved windows and pinnacle tops picture the old China. Today, western culture has seeped in the city. Nanjing 1912 is home to world-branded coffee shops such as Starbucks, the Coffee Beanery, and Kathleen Five, Japanese and Korean restaurants, Asian-famous spas and beauty salons. It is like the Xin Tian Di in Shanghai!
