Grinding time in a cafe

Nightlife entertainment of the city's new district (Xiaguan) mainly converges on the square before the bus station on Jianshe Road. Besides the Karaoke TV, cinemas, discos, the square is also a wonderful entertaining place to dance with people of many different cultural groups or to admire local operas. Getting close to the local people's daily life, the open-air squares like this can provide visitors with an intimate connection with the city. More visitors may choose to spend a serene night in Dali's Ancient City. They could relax into light-hearted chat while drinking beer and the tranquil atmosphere of the ancient city can properly set the tone for timeless relaxation. Foreigner Street gathers many westerners in numerous cafes and pubs. That is the reason why this street gains its famous name, Foreigner Street.
