Lance, most of local people do not go to above places does not mean they do not have their own nightlife. It depends on how nightlife is defined. In fact, they go to other places where Western people rarely go. For example:

- KaraOK "Hall"s. There are some large halls such as the famous "Qian Gui".
- Tea Houses (for example, the "Yuan Yuan Yuan"). Young people often spend their after-work hours there playing cards till very late.
- "Grand Bathroom"s. As you can imagine, people go there not only for bath. Don't worry, they are even very suitable for children and families. The shopping mall-like "grand bathroom" is a unique place which has almost all facilities you want - bath, dinner, sleep, swiming and bowling, watching show etc. BUT, when you doing these, you have to leave all your clothes in the store box.
- Internet Cafe. They are getting larger and more comfortable. Some Internet Cafes have hundreds of seats and each occupies a large space. Young people go there to play online games, chatting and surfing. You can also meet firends, drink or even sleep there. Unfortunately, Chinese government has banned after-midnight operations.
