The Chongqing Tiandi, a beautiful, peaceful and very upscale shopping and entertainment complex, has yet to attract the floods of nouveau riche consumers and taste-makers that it anticipated. Nevertheless, it's still a rather interesting and even relaxing place to go for a change of pace. Of the three lounges (as I'll call them), start with Dancing with the Sharks, if only for the novelty of drinking in the company of million-dollar marine life (whether or not that's a sustainable business model is a great topic of conversation that pairs nicely with the fine wines and pricey cocktails on offer).
Then head up to the Greenhouse Music Club, if only because supporting any kind of cultural scene in Chongqing is worth the tab you'll ring up. Lastly, top it off with Somewhere Club, a much livelier venue than the previous two and a little less expensive to boot. Be careful, though ¡ª it's easy to blow all your money in one spot, so come prepared. One last tip: if you're going all the way out to Tiandi, you might as well start your spending spree with dinner at the delicious Bon Bon.
