Taiyuan boasts a good number of discotheques and nightclubs (Chinatown at 49 Bingzhou beilu is recommended by foreigners) and these draw crowds of locals at night, especially on the weekends. There are also a number of bars scattered about, many of them on the long main street Yingze dajie, although these are often of the karaoke and theme pub variety.

If you are after something a little more authentic, there is still much local culture left in this rapidly modernising city. Besides the obvious visits to tea houses and the older sections of town, one of the best traditional entertainments to be enjoyed is the regional Jin Opera (Jin ju). The best venue for this is at the Shanxi Jin Opera Troupe Theater (Shanxi jinju tuan) at 8 Xinjian nanlu. Call CITS (Tel: 0351-7042125) to check the latest perfomance schedules. If you have no time, patience or money for this, then heading to Yingze Park (Yingze gongyuan), that runs along Yingze dajie and Jiefang lu, to listen to the mostly old, amateur or retired singers, who screech/chant/sing their favourite acts.
