Huai'an travel guide - where to stay, what to do, and where to eat in Huai'an, Jiangsu, China.

The 1415 Cultural and Commercial Block and the Taipei Bu Ye Cheng block on Henan East Road hold most of the bars and clubs, while the Li Canal Cultural Corridor and Hexia Ancient Town offer lit-up evening walks rather than drinking.

Nightlife tips
Stay safe and have fun.
Most venues warm up after midnight — earlier arrivals get easier entry and shorter queues.
Carry ID, even if you look older — bouncers check at most venues.
Plan your ride home before you go out — last transport runs earlier than the clubs close.
