Fun and entertainment - China in 2024

Practical information : Going out China

Timetable

The Chinese are hard workers. They get up early and go to bed early, and the notion of weekend is not really found in China; it is rather called a day of rest (over a period of seven days). So it takes big parties to go out late at night ! In hotels for Western tourists, there is often nightly entertainment. However, the favorite evening entertainment of the wealthy Chinese is karaoke, which is in full development. In addition, there are ballets, acrobatic shows, and traditional theater of very high quality in the large halls.

Budget & Tips

As nightlife is reserved for a wealthy clientele, establishments such as karaoke bars open in the evening are much more expensive than bars. Shows (ballet, acrobatics, theater) are often as expensive as in Europe.

To be booked

The most famous karaoke bars in the modern city are quickly sold out, so it's best to reserve your seat.

Night transport

Public transportation ends its service around 11 pm. You can take an official cab or use Didi, the Chinese Uber.

Age restrictions

In mainland China and Macau, there are no restrictions on the consumption of alcohol, although drunkenness is punishable in cases of public disorder. In Hong Kong, the sale of alcohol is forbidden to those under 18 years of age. It is generally acceptable to bring your own drinks to restaurants.

What's very local

It is generally allowed to bring your own drinks to the restaurants.

Smokers

Smoking is prohibited in public places, with some exceptions... Tolerance for smokers is still high.
