Taoye Ferry Leisure Street

It was a noted ferry in ancient times. As a legend goes, it got its name since a famous calligrapher WangXianzhi saw off and met Taoye as his beloved girl. Since then, Taoye Ferry has become one of holy love lands in Nanjing. Nowadays it has been developed into a leisure area with bars, (international) restaurants and recreation clubs. The place is very quiet and so close to the Qinhuai River. It is an ideal place to escape from the bustle of Fuzi Miao area, hang around, have a cup of tea/coffee, or just wandering.

 

Jimmy’s

Hidden at the end of a food and drink complex on Shigu Road, this six-year-old sports bar plants a chunk of America in the heart of Nanjing.

 

Owned by Tennessee-native Jimmy, this laid-back pub is a nightlife stronghold among Nanjing expats, serving domestic and imported beers, a sociable environment and possibly the best American-style pizza in town.
