Sublime hot-pot restaurant chain and uniquely sociable dining experience. The lamb is particularly delicious at this restaurant next to Yinhai Marina.

Huge restaurant with an atmosphere as full-on as its ambition. Multi-faceted, pan-Asian cuisine, belly dancers, musicians... Chaos!

Inside Ausotel, this curiously designed establishment has isolated dining cocoons in which you can feast on a gourmet fusion of Sichuan and Guangdong food. A splendid upmarket Chinese restaurant.

This novel guide to the city contains a hand-picked un-sponsored selection of the absolute best places to eat, drink, go sightseeing and much more. Just ¥50 (€5) a box from REDSTAR and selected bars and restaurants*.

About a 40 minute drive east of the city limits, Laoshan Beach is located at the entrance to Laoshan National Park. Surrounded by sweeping views of the Laoshan mountain range, this beach is well worth the trip.

One of the best. The good music, live sports and great drinks keep people happy but its the personality of the staff at Charlie's that make it the coolest bar in town.

Ambient watering hole featuring pool table, fussball and great live music on the weekends. Excellent Chinese food too!

Some of the finest Italian cuisine in town, this establishment has everything from filling lasagnas to salubrious salads, a fine bar upstairs and sublime gelato. To soak up the relaxing atmosphere, drop by at night for a cocktail or glass of fine wine -happy hour 5:30pm-7.30pm!

A wonderful, genuine and authentic Italian, with a wine bar boasting a superb selection of imported wines, a breakfast menu and exquisite antipasto and entrees.

Superb setting, right next to Beach Number 3. With its beautiful beer garden and regular barbeque events, this is a lovely sanctum in which to spend the summer months.
