Start Late
In many cities, the real nightlife does not kick off until 11pm or later. Have dinner first, then head out. Kunshan's peak hours may vary by district.
Carry Cash and Cards
Some clubs are cash-only while others prefer cards. Keep both on you and leave valuables at your accommodation.
Plan Your Way Home
Know the late-night transport options before you go out. Save a taxi app on your phone and keep your accommodation address handy.
Ask Locals
Hotel and hostel staff know the current hot spots. Nightlife scenes shift constantly, so yesterday's guidebook tip may be outdated.
