Nightlife historian David Wong notes: "Shanghai's current scene mirrors 1930s Paris meets 1990s Tokyo - a perfect storm of disposable income, cultural openness and relentless innovation. These venues aren't just clubs, they're theaters of social capital."
From the laser-etched ice sculptures at M1NT to the private opera performances at Yuan Club, Shanghai's entertainment palaces continue pushing boundaries while maintaining an air of exclusivity that makes them the standard-bearers for Asian nightlife.
