3) M1NT Club
This is the party spot in Shanghai, a hip and stylish night club perched on the 24th floor, with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular 360° views of the Bund, Pudong, Nanjing Road, People's Square and Huaihai Road.
The first thing you notice upon arriving at M1NT Club is the jaw-dropping 17-meter long shark tank, complete with more than 20 blacktip and whitetip reef sharks. Entranceways don't get any better than that.
However, it is the music that enchants loyal customers. It's described as an international mash-up of old-school house, electro, pop and R'n'B, combined with the latest and best tunes on the international club circuit ensuring a night to remember. Sean Kingston, Vandalism, DJ Vice, DJ Riz and DJ Skribble, just to name a few, have all performed there.

4) MAO Livehouse Shanghai
Even those who claim to be done with the whole nightclub thing still get excited by the live music scene at MAO's. It's different, and inspiring, they say.
Backed by the people from Soma records, this large live space aims to host the best bands that come to China. It's recommended as the best place to enjoy rock and roll in Shanghai.
After a renovation last September, this club has gotten even more attractive to its customers. The killer sound system and relatively cheap drinks combined with a cool crowd of Chinese youngsters make it a hipster's dream.
Price: Ticket fees vary, at least 100RMB ($16) for a show
Business Hours: Opening times vary
