The sleek towering new black tile and glass lit neon SOS dance club is one of the hottest night life spots in Yangzhou these days. The ancient city of Yangzhou seems a long ways away when you’re inside this sparkling disco. Try heading to the back of the first floor where people congregate around the elevated dance stage.

Latitude 31 Degrees is a pleasant bar on Zhongshan Road near the Drum Tower (Gu Lou). The bar generally attracts Chinese patrons. Local beer is available for 30RMB a jug. Staff speak limited English, but English speaking patrons are usually happy to assist other foreigners with any language barrier problems.
