Description

Some nights begin with a drink. This one begins with a question. Starting at 7:30 PM, follow your host through three distinctive bars on a three-hour journey where ancient Chinese mysticism collides with Shanghai’s bold, creative nightlife. Your first stop is a Taoist-inspired divination bar filled with symbols, rituals and mystery. Order a cocktail and receive a traditional yellow talisman paper. Write down a question that has been keeping you awake—about love, career, wellbeing or an uncertain future. As the talisman is set alight in a symbolic ritual, watch the smoke rise and your reading unfold. The drinks draw inspiration from Eastern flavors and the Taoist idea of yin and yang, bringing contrasting elements together in balance. Your host will stay with you throughout the experience, explain the cultural background and assist with translation. The next two bars reveal a completely different side of the city: young, experimental and unmistakably Shanghai. Discover inventive cocktails where fresh fruit meets unexpected Asian flavors. Tonight, every mood is welcome—joyful or quiet, certain or conflicted. Relax, meet fellow travelers and let the night unfold without needing to be anything other than yourself. Experience the contrast between ancient symbols and modern city life, search for a little clarity in the chaos, and let the smoke carry away whatever you no longer need. You may not leave with every answer—but you’ll leave with a lighter heart and a story that could only happen in Shanghai.
