Yes, you did read that right. In what may be the biggest Nanjing party news this year, it has been announced that the city will soon be host to not one, but two 1912’s. However, the new establishment will not be close to the existing one. In fact, it will not even be situated in the city center, and instead will be located next to Jiangning District’s Baijia Lake. By Christmas of this year, the new bar street should be fully operational.
The new 1912 will be over 30,000 square meters, and contain the usual assortment of bars, high end restaurants, salons, spas, and other similar establishments. However, many things will be changed over the two locations. While the existing 1912 is a popular hangout for younger Nanjingers and a more club oriented crowd, Baijia Lake 1912 will try to focus more on relaxation. Instead of a district of predominantly clubs, a focus will be more on salon style bars.
The entire area will be situated directly on the side of Baijia Lake. Eighty businesses are already investing money, and by the end of this year, the party should start in Jiangning. Well, a more modest party, anyway.
