Frommer's Review
Banana is one of Beijing's oldest and most popular discos. This new, larger location is a classic bit of 1990s Miami Beach postmodernism with fake palm trees and white Doric columns. The crowd is mostly black-clad men and skinny women who wear sunglasses at night. The sound system produces enough bass to loosen tooth fillings.

Beijing Disco

Beijing Sanlitun bars
All of the floweriness and craziness of night Beijing seems to have gathered in this narrow street Sanlitun. Adjacent to the embassy area, the street is quiet and clear. When you pass here at daytime, it is hard for you to imagine how ablare and crazy it is at night. All descriptions of people, either beautiful or monster-like or ghost-like groups, here is a world of night owls. Are you a bit drunk for such a Beijing under the dim light of night full of perfume ,neon, men and women?
