Chengdu Nightlife Experience with a Local: Bars, Clubs & Culture
Chengdu is most well known for its relaxed attitude — it also interprets that attitude in nightlife.
This is not your typical guided tour — it's more of a night out with a young local friend who shows you their hometown.
Before your trip, you’ll receive a personalized digital nightlife guide packed with insider tips: from speakeasies and hidden cocktail bars to indie music venues, tea-and-spirit fusion lounges, LGBTQ+ hangouts, and even underground left-wing bars.
We’ve designed suggested routes for you and the local friend to explore together, but the choice is entirely yours.
You'll be matched with a local who shares your interests. Whether you're up for partying, having deep conversations over a drink, or checking out the subcultures of the city, the night will unfold naturally from there.
This isn't a tour but a chance to get a real local friend, learn about daily life, experience & travel Chengdu in the best way possible.

What's included in Chengdu Nightlife Experience with a Local: Bars, Clubs & Culture
(Subject to Option Inclusions)The activity begins on a side street in Chengdu's Yulin district, Huoshaoyan. It is a colorful neighborhood street market renowned for its celebratory activities, where locals sell their homemade products, paintings, and other works made by their hands. You can choose to start your evening early with a local friend by going to this market — to get familiar with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Or, you can go directly to the bar later at night — a cozy spot themed around romantic Chinese Wuxia. There, you'll have a bottle of beer with your local friend, served in Chinese-style bowls. Cheers! After that, you'll go to a Chinese divination-themed local bar. You can try your luck and enjoy a cocktail chosen by lottery! The two mentioned drinks are included in the activity. If you need more drinks or would like to treat your local friend, feel free to purchase more on your own. Most importantly, this tour is meant to be chill and flexible. While we’ve designed this suggested route, if there are other bars or spots in the guidebook that catch your interest, you’re welcome to discuss with us!
