Night Market
Known locally as the 'Snack Street' (小吃街; Xiaǒchī Jiē), this is one of the best places to dine. There are lots of cheap eats; two favourites are ròujiāmó (肉夹馍; fried pork or beef stuffed in pita bread, sometimes with green peppers and cumin) and shāguō (砂锅; minihotpot). A nearby side alley is jam-packed with bars and small clubs.

Italian Bar
This small, somewhat grungy bar serves up Y8 beers to a local crowd. Expect to be invited in for a round of drinks. From here you could take your pub crawl to the bars near the Night Market.

Gāo Temple
This eclectic, multipurpose temple has at various times catered to the needs of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. It's still a hodgepodge of architectural styles, but the revitalised Buddhist deities have muscled out the original Taoists and Confucians.
The real oddity is the former bomb shelter, built beneath the temple during the Cultural Revolution and later converted into a Buddhist hell-haunted house. The eerie, dimly lit tunnels echo with the haunting screams of the damned. Try not to get too freaked out.
