Sightseeing

Explore this area for a taste of the real old city - its gritty, but friendly. This whole area is set to disappear within a few years as it gets redeveloped, so get your photos now! Its perfectly safe here and there will be almost no tourists.

Arts & Culture

First private gallery in China. Fantastic architecture. Walk down to the river afterwards for a spot of sightseeing and a refreshing breeze. Looks great in the evening with all the lights on.

Drinks & Nightlife

Missing craft beer from home? Try Boxing Cat Brewery with a great selection of craft beers starting from 35RMB. Great to sit outside after a hike around Fuxing Park and watch the world go by! I recommend the Right Hook Helles!
