What is buzz?

Instead of traditional ranking, Buzz is what City Weekend uses to help reveal what's popular in the city. It takes into account what real users like. If Buzz is high, then the item is popular in the city. To see the most Buzz worthiest listings, events, classifieds or people by their Buzz, click "Buzz" below.

• Add some photos
• Share it with friends
• Add a comment or review

• Most importantly, make your content as interesting as you can so others do the same

Tongren Lu Closure

• View all images (1)
• Add an image

Heard from a friend with a venue on Tongren Lu (insert jokes here), that the Shanghai government just announced that the Lu will be closed for Aug. 1-5. Technically no reason given. Coincidentally, the U.S. Olympic delegation will be staying at the Portman for the soccer (read: football) preliminaries.

Weekend plans now down the drain? No worries. Tongren Lu venues will be allowed to open 1-8am.

We can "only guess" about the reason the powers that be have decided to close this strip but we're not quite sure how allowing venues to be open from 1-8am really helps that. Maybe it's after all the athletes are tucked into bed?
