The ambience transports visitors back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), while tantalizing food aromas ground them in the present. Sipping cocktails, enjoying delicacies, and chatting with friends provide an escape from busy urban life.

Embracing the cool night, residents and visitors alike partake in a variety of nighttime activities. The Houling Amusement Valley in Wenling provides a night tour through a magical forest of light and shadows, which runs until 10 pm each evening.

It features captivating experiences such as holographic projections, a sea of twinkling firefly lights, and a time tunnel. Additionally, water golf, laser shooting, archery, and rock climbing cater to diverse interests, ensuring a night filled with excitement and adventure.

Taizhou's nightlife scene is also decorated with cultural performances. At the sunken square of Longxing Temple within the scenic area of the Ancient City of Taizhou, street performances abound, instilling vitality into the ancient city. 

From dusk until late at night, the immersive performances of the Song Dynasty style take turns to captivate audiences in the scenic area.
