Shekou Sea World

Shekou Sea World is an internationally-minded enclave of bars, clubs and live music venues, alongside plenty of restaurants and cafes. Sea World doesn't party as late as Coco Park does, and tends to attract an older crowd, so it's a good place for a more chill evening, or to get a night started. The standout venue here is the renovated Minghua ship and Terrace, a cavernous pub-type venue with great Thai food and live music every night from 10 p.m.

People visit the reopened Minghua Ship at Sea World, Shekou on Sept. 28. Liu Xudong
