When Night Falls, the City Begins to Speak
After dark, Ximending slows its daytime rush and settles into a looser rhythm. Behind the Red House, the cluster of small bars known as “Studio 16” lights up moments of gentle intoxication rather than loud excitement. Outdoor seating connects international beers, music, queer culture, and community exchange, turning the night into a space where style and freedom intersect. On weekends, the Red House Plaza often hosts creative markets and small exhibitions, becoming even more captivating once the lights come on.
