Shanghai

Usually, I am not a party animal, but I'd like to start with nightclubs. I think this is what a city is all about LOL. Semi-formal and invite-only nightclub that offers fun from Wednesday to Saturday spinning tunes from old school hip-hop to funk. They bring renowned musicians around the globe to perform the best sounds over the weekend

A premium man's fashion boutique located on Jiashan Road that offers brands like Alyx, visvim, Undercover, etc. There is no cell phone signal, because it is in the basement, so don't bother asking your girlfriend or mom for their opinion. Decide your own style and just buy!

A neat Italian restaurant that offers creative cuisine using organic ingredients. Modern interior design and spacious dining environment won't disappoint you.

A go-to place after work for dinner. Usually packed with people from Monday to Sunday. The outdoor space gives you a moment to chill and relax in the city. Not to mention the cocktails are the state-of-art level and gets you tipsy before hitting up to the afterparty.

Another great party spot right next to Le Baron. A bit of a private-ish club that divides the space into a chilling lounge and a dance floor. Newly renovated venue to provide good drink and cozy environment. Best place to chill out with your closest friends.
