The best, and most expensive, of the lot is probably the Sunrise Club (Zhaori julebu) on Chongqing Road (Chongqing dao), which, although a little bit to the south, has nightly live music and an interesting decor. My Disco (Wode diting) on Anshan road (Anshan dao) and Chat’s Bar in the Hyatt are also worth a visit, while the DD Disco Square, on 335 Machang Road (Machang dao) is a little bit tacky Chinese.

Mother Nature seems to be on the side of Tianjin with its location at the junction of Haihe River and Bohai Sea, both economically and for recreation. Two of the most popular forms of entertainment here are speed boating (Kuaiting) best done towards Tanggu at Dagukou, although the level of safety is debatable, and shooting.
