Nighttime economies have been thriving across China in recent years, and ‘Tipsy Lane’ in downtown Shanghai is steadily gaining popularity. Nestled in the city’s bustling commercial core, Maoming North Road transforms after dark into ‘Tipsy Lane’—a vibrant pedestrian quarter where live bands perform in open-air zones. Visitors can sip drinks, socialize, and enjoy music under the night sky. For those who prefer not to drink, an array of extended-hour venues offers everything from late-night bites and ice cream to desserts. Businesses from various sectors have woven together a dynamic nighttime hub combining dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.

Many have welcomed the arrival of ‘Tipsy Lane’, noting that traditional business districts often closed too early, leaving overtime workers with few options for meals or shopping. This new nighttime zone offers a perfect setting for post-work relaxation while boosting consumer spending and supporting local economic growth.
