What is there to do after midnight in Beijing?

pretzellogic - seek out the unhip, uncool and lame, I say. The cool folks are far too busy being cool to actually have any fun (let alone to frolick!)
pretzellogic
yeah, you're right.

January 26, 2010, 03:06 AMWell, my school has a curfew, and as I'm staying in a student dormitory, I have to be in bed at 10pm everynight.
I'm not sure what sort of nightlife Beijing has to offer...

holy cow, when I was a student centuries ago... actually, now that I think about it, when I had roommates and lived in an off-campus apartment, that's when i really got to know what was open after midnight. Food, bowling, the beach, the runways near LAX, cruising... but when I lived at home, it was boredom city with family. No curfew, but there might as well have been.
Waigoren, what school are you attending?

January 26, 2010, 03:11 AMIt's all subjective anyway, so perhaps even those who consider themselves uncool can suggest some activities here?
I'd also love to know what goes on in Beijing, in case I get a chance to return this year, so let's hope some interesting ideas can be shared!
All I know is that midnight frolicking sounds like a lot of fun. Not sure if that's cool or even advisable/feasible in Beijing, Shanghai or anywhere, though :-)
For Shanghai, a lot of people head to www.smartshanghai.com as a default guide.

yeah, after-midnight frolicking sounds fun even to me. So far though, the only thing I know open 24 hours in Beijing are ATMs. Frolicking can be had there I suppose, but it will be on camera.

January 26, 2010, 02:13 AMHaha, I love the "frolicking" tag.
Only problem with this post is that only those who consider themselves hip and trendy will feel comfortable to make suggestions...
