Traditionally Nanjing's nightlife was mostly centered around [[Nanjing Fuzimiao]] (Confucius Temple) area along the [[Qinhuai River]], where night markets, restaurants and pubs thrived.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.china.org.cn/arts/2011-03/28/content_22239814_4.htm |title=Life on the Water's Edge: The Culture and History of the Qinhuai River – China.org.cn |website=china.org.cn |access-date=May 17, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111020037/http://www.china.org.cn/arts/2011-03/28/content_22239814_4.htm |archive-date=November 11, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Heaver |first1=Stuart |title=What to see in Nanjing, and why now is an appropriate time to explore China's former capital |url=https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/2109696/whats-see-nanjing-and-why-nows-appropriate-time-explore |access-date=30 March 2024 |agency=South China Morning Post |date=6 Sep 2017 |archive-date=March 30, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240330083848/https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/2109696/whats-see-nanjing-and-why-nows-appropriate-time-explore |url-status=live }}</ref> Boating at night in the river was a main attraction of the city. Thus, one can see the statues of the famous teachers and educators of the past not too far from those of the courtesans who educated the young men in the other arts.

In the past 20&nbsp;years, several commercial streets have been developed, hence the nightlife has become more diverse: there are<!--I've seen them. None could be called "mega".--> shopping malls opening late in the [[Xinjiekou, Nanjing|Xinjiekou]] CBD, as well as in and around major residential areas throughout the city. The well-established "[[Nanjing 1912]]" district hosts a wide variety of recreational facilities ranging from traditional restaurants and western pubs to dance clubs, in both its downtown location and beside Baijia Lake in [[Jiangning District]]. In recent years, many night-life options have opened up in Catherine Park as well as in shopping malls such as IST in [[Xinjiekou, Nanjing|Xinjiekou]] and Kingmo near [[Baijiahu station|Baijai Lake metro station]]. Other, more student-oriented places are to be found near to [[Nanjing University]] and [[Nanjing Normal University]].
