The City at Night
One third of the day, we work. Another 1/3, we sleep. We keep the precious rest to ourselves for fun. Work may change at any time. Time slips away in bed. Only nightlife is immortal. Forget about your daytime worries and get lost in this wild, nighttime playground.
Beijing: In Search of Happiness
Compared with Shanghai and Guangzhou, Beijing's nightlife seems less charming. Even Beijingers would have to agree. Whether it is due to climate or custom, Beijing's nightlife doesn't hold a candle to Guangzhou or Shanghai. However, there are still places for you to go and enjoy the night.
Don't worry about having the latest nightlife guide. The Sanlitun bar strip remains the most popular and recognizable bar district in Beijing. Most of the patrons are young and like to play just as hard as they work. If you're looking for a more intense night, try the disco halls or Karaoke clubs(more commonly known as KTVs, short for Karaoke Television).
Want to experience a traditional Beijing night? Try Laoshe Teahouse in Qianmen for its original flavor. Sip the culture of the old city from a cup of tea or watch the traditional Beijing opera in an elegantly furnished building. Don't forget to shout "Bravo!" for the brilliant performers!
Another place to visit is the Shicha-hal Bar Zone. Shicha-hai is a natural lake with a 700-year history. Since Beijing is short of water resources, Shicha-hai is considered a blessed place. While the rest of the capital city is on the express train to modernization and globalization, Shicha-hal is one of the few places where you can still hear the singing of insects and stroll around old Siheyuan(traditional style. single story houses with rows of rooms around the four sides of a courtyard).
These bars have one thing in common, unattractive outsides and unexpectedly charming insides. Old compounds and vogue trends have their proper place, making Shicha-hal sexy.
If you go hungry and want to try something special in a restaurant, don't miss Guijie in the eastern part of the city. The food vendors on the street thrive after 2 a. m. The most popular color here is the red of the lights that stretch along the street, and the most mouthwatering cuisine is the spicy crayfish. In the hot days of summer or on snowy winter nights, this street is always a hot hit.
You can try all kinds of Chinese cooking along this street that is no more than 1500 meters long. The food is cheap and the service is good. Most of the restaurants are in business around the clock. Your only worry is about how to eat it all with only one stomach!
It's easy to overlook familiar sites but it is a mistake to do so in Beijing. Keep yourself curious, explore the city and the Beijing nights won't desert you.
Shanghai: Players with Taste
Shanghai nights are a mixture of cigar smoke, jazz and red wine with a lingering fragrance of romance. It appeals to all your sensory organs and can be an emotional experience.
Shanghai is the most Xiaozi city in China. Xiaozi refers to a specific life style. and spiritual pattern practiced mainly in white collar and intellectual(知识分子) circles. It is characterized by the pursuit of individualism, extraordinary and refined tastes and exquisite and graceful lifestyles.
Paoba(loitering in bars), is quite Xiaozi. Pao means soaking, an accurate metaphor of what one does in a bar—soaking oneself in a relaxing atmosphere as in a hot spring, soothing your flesh and soul with good wine, music and conversation.
The people in Shanghai put emphasis on the style. of Paoba. There are a host of exotic, top grade bars in the city, most of which are clustered on the renowned Hengshan Road, which used to be a lofty uptown area during the French Concession in the early 20th century. The styles of the bars are as varied as th

Still, scientists have been surprised at how deeply culture—the language we speak, the values we absorb—shapes the brain, and are rethinking findings derived from studies of Westerners. To take one recent example, a region behind the forehead called the medial prefrontal cortex supposedly represents the self: it is active when we ("we" being the Americans in the study) think of our own identity and traits. But with Chinese volunteers, the results were strikingly different. The "me" circuit hummed not only when they thought whether a particular adjective described themselves, but also when they considered whether it described their mother. The Westerners showed no such overlap between self and mom. Depending whether one lives in a culture that views the self as autonomous and unique or as connected to and part of a larger whole, this neural circuit takes on quite different functions.
"Cultural neuroscience," as this new field is called, is about discovering such differences. Some of the findings, as with the "me/mom" circuit, buttress longstanding notions of cultural differences. For instance, it is a cultural cliche that Westerners focus on individual objects while East Asians pay attention to context and background (another manifestation of the individualism-collectivism split). Sure enough, when shown complex, busy scenes, Asian-Americans and non-Asian—Americans recruited different brain regions. The Asians showed more activity in areas that process figure-ground relations—holistic context—while the Americans showed more activity in regions that recognize objects.
Psychologist Nalini Ambady of Tufts found something similar when she and colleagues showed drawings of people in a submissive pose (head down, shoulders hunched) or a dominant one (arms crossed, face forward) to Japanese and Americans. The brain's dopamine-fueled reward circuit became most active at the sight of the stance—dominant for Americans, submissive for Japanese—that each volunteer's culture most values, they reported in 2009. This raises an obvious chicken-and-egg question.
Cultural neuroscience wouldn't be making waves if it found neurobiological bases only for well-known cultural differences. It is also uncovering the unexpected. For instance, a 2006 study found that native Chinese speakers use a different region of the brain to do simple arithmetic (3 + 4) or decide which number is larger than native English speakers do, even though both use Arabic numerals. The Chinese use the circuits that process visual and spatial information and plan movements (the latter may be related to the use of the abacus). But English speakers use language circuits. It is as if the West conceives numbers as just words, but the East imbues them with symbolic, spatial freight. "One would think that neural processes involving basic mathematical computations are universal," says Ambady, but they "seem to be culture-specific. "
Not to be the skunk at this party, but I think it's important to ask whether neuroscience reveals anything more than we already know from, say, anthropology. For instance, it's well known that East Asian cultures prize the collective over the individual, and that Americans do the opposite.
Ambady thinks cultural neuroscience does advance understanding. Take the me/mom finding, which, she argues, "att
