Fashionable party nightlife in Shanghai

Nightlife in Shanghai is always colorful and exciting. Though in the day,
most Shanghainese lead a somewhat dull and conventional way of life, in
the night they rush to all kinds of innovative parties.

Jazz and dances represent Shanghai in the old days, especially the Bak
Lok Moon Music.

Foam Party, originating in Western countries, is now popular in Shanghai.
Under the illumination of neon lamps, many Shanghainese enjoy themselves
in DJ music and hot dances at parties.

Usually, there are 3 kinds of parties in Shanghai: business parties,
private parties and music parties.

Business parties are all the rage in Shanghai, for it is the business
center of China. Most luxury brands have hosted innovative business
parties to establish their products in China. For example, Dunhill set a
100-m-long dinner table, and Chanel held a aircraft-themed party at the
airport.

Many party-crazy young Shanghainese call themselves "party animals" or
��party slaves��. Most of them have a special "party circle" with a
unique theme. However, elderly Shanghainese appreciate the elegant flavor
of old-style balls more, especially in Bak Lok Moon (Paramount).

"Bak Lok Moon once heralded the beginning of nightlife in Shanghai," said
Huang. "When I was young, I often went there to dance and listen to Jazz
music. It was the center of fashion in Shanghai. Though it is not popular
as it used to be, Bak Lok Moon is still a good place of entertainment for
people of my generation."
