Pudong travel guide — where to stay, what to do, and where to eat in Pudong, Shanghai, China.
Pudong nightlife is dominated by high-floor hotel bars in the Lujiazui tower district, where Bund views and cocktail menus draw business travellers and visitors, with a quieter brewpub scene around Century Park and Huamu. Most venues are hotel-run and close around midnight to 01:00, so the area suits a sunset drink more than a late club night.
