Bars & Nightlife à Hangzhou

Nanshan Lu (or the West Lake bar street) is where most of the nightlife in Hangzhou happens, though there are other hot spots in town. KTV (or Karaoke Television) is a favorite local evening pastime, but stick to Western-style establishments if you're not quite ready to exercise your vocal cords. There is plenty of life happening outside of bars and discos, too - try the night market for great bargains on knick-knacks and a taste of local street food.
