Ruby HuangJuly 6, 2016I used to like this area a lot as it seems the only spot with a tiny bit of culture and liveliness in town. But then the scene kinda never happened. Prices are high n service is always shit.Upvote2Downvote

Rock LamMay 26, 2013南区主要是书店餐饮店和展览，北区主要是小型现场，独立电影和专题讲座，去过北区的B10和A3+，馆子没进去，环境气氛很好，感觉吃饭的都是知识份子和文艺青年还有商人居多。Upvote1Downvote
