A down-to-earth jazz bar with dazzling panoramic views of Qianhai Lake. East Shore Live Jazz Cafe is a great place to relax and soak up the vibe. The interior, decked out in dark wood, is very stylish, but the lights are so dim at night that you’ll hard be able to make it out. Of course the darkness inside makes the view of the lake all the more impressive. And the price of soaking up this rich atmosphere is similar to what you’ll pay in any dumpy Houhai bar: beers are ¥20-30, spirits are ¥25-40 (there’s an especially good range of whisky and gin on offer) and cocktails are ¥35-40. Live jazz performances take place from Thursday to Sunday from 9:30pm. At these times the bar can get very busy so if you want a table with a view of the band then it’s best to make a reservation. The only downside to the East Shore Live Jazz Cafe is the indifferent service.
