Shenzhen's nightlife scene comes to a boil in two major areas: Coco Park in the Futian District (a flashy crowd) and Shekou in the Nanshan District (a bit more laid-back). Over the past couple of years, a handful of cool spots have also been popping up in the OCT Loft area.
A revamped industrial space with, cool studios, and shops, the leafy OCT Loft promenade is peppered with trendy alfresco cafés that are popular for evening drinks. For a relaxed night out, look for La Patisserie or LSD Party, which is an Italian café-cum-gallery (not a drug den). Bettet yet, for a memorable musical experience, time your visit with the annual Jazz Festival, usually in October.
