If you like a lively atmosphere cheap beer and a student crowd its ok, step through the dubious bbq stalls , if you have enough to drink they may start to look appealing More

This area has LOTS of shops, restaurants, and bars. There are lots of international choices. So if you are looking for something other than local chinese fare, this is a great place to wander around. More

It's a good place to spend time with friends at nights. Foods are more expensive than other place. Lots of bars moved out already. More

Street full of sleazy watering holes. Frequented by prostitutes, drug dealers and policemen in disguise by night. Give it a miss. More
