When night comes, Quanzhou city is always decorated beautifully with colorful neon lights along all the streets. After a busy day, people often go out to relax in the squares, parks, clubs, night markets as well as gymnasiums and beauty parlors. In the Fengze Square, the food market, shopping market and book market are always full of people while in the Delicious Food Streets, the various local snacks give out wafts of enticing aromas and draw many people there to satisfy their appetites.

Parks are also many people's choice to spend their night. Especially in the West Lake Park that is located at the southern foot of Mt.Qingyuan, people often walk or drive there to fly kites, wander around or boat on the lake. Other parks like Daping, Binjiang are famous for their open-air sidewalk food stalls while the Tea Bar on the Heavenly Lake of Mt. Qingyuan is most tranquil and tasteful for you to enjoy genuine Fujian tea.

In Licheng District, there are cultural corners for people with different interests. The seniors gather in the local opera corner like the Culture Palace to enjoy the dulcet Nanyin, a long history opera sung in Fujian dialect with the accompaniment of traditional Chinese stringed and wood-wind instruments. The story-lovers assemble in the story corner to listen to legends from throughout history. Those who like films go to the cinemas to appreciate the most recent films or the traditional performance of puppet shows. For others, they always go to the cafés or the tea bars, chattering and laughing.

For the young people, various bars and clubs are the best places to let their hairs down. The song-and-dance halls, the KTV (Karaoke Television Bars) and all other nightclubs are here and there in the city, especially down East Street and Tumen Street.
