Hi people.
Not playing my usual story line yet, but I think I'll find time to start doing so in November. Right now I'm checking out World Adventures a little bit for the first time (I only bought the expansion pack earlier this year, as the very last one I'm going to buy). Now I own every expansion pack except for the one with Isla Paridisio (I heard it's buggy...) and Showtime (because you can't combine the singer career with a band so it sounds useless to me).
So I sent my simself to Shang Simla to meet the locals, and in doing so I thought it was kind of boring how the place didn't have a nightlife-esque hangout and how the towers on each corner of the Forbidden City were all seemingly empty.
So I built a restaurant/bar/disco in the east tower. I left the exterior unchanged, with no advertising or other such ugly looking things to pollute the look of the historic area, so one kind of has to know it's there to figure out that there's actually something inside. ;)
This is your view after entering through the front door. Some lightweight walls have been put up to seperate the tiny restaurant area from the hallway and the stairs leading up into the tower.
The tiny restaurant. The rug is a diner. The restaurant itself only has four eating spots, the two chairs by the bar and the the ones by the table on the right. The bar is only for decoration or to serve as an eating spot.
View from inside the bar. A restroom is found behind the white door to the left (it's behind the staircase).
So where's the actual bar and the disco? Well... to find that, you have to walk around to the backside of the tower and locate an anonymous looking staircase down into the basement...
Your view from the foot of the stairs after walking down. Doesn't look like much..
..but as you turn right around the corner, you'll notice there's a pretty big bar there. Dimly lit in a comfortable flame light, just the way I like it. ;)
As you walk up to the bar and turn around, you'll notice what appears to be a dance floor and a couple of tables with dining chairs on them. Not the biggest place, but I wanted it to fit under the foundation of the tower, with the exception of the toilet and staircase area, which does extend outside of it.
The view from the dance floor reveals the location of the restrooms.

Top down view of the basement. I haven't tested it yet to see if it fills with people. Also, I'm deliberately staying away from exploring tombs and secret places etc. I want to reserve that for my story line families if they should decide to go there at some point. ;)

Sprottenham How clever! I LOVE it! 😀 And it looks amazing! Great decor choices! Seriously, awesome job! ⭐ I wish I could add it to my Shang Simla world. 😉
But you've given me an idea to consider so thank you for sharing!

Thanks. I consider this to be a pretty low effort build though, relatively speaking. Also, I don't think I had to many choices with the decor as it had to fit into the Chinese/asian world, or it wouldn't make sense. :P
And also with the restrictions on the building set by the local town council. You just do not mess around to much in areas of great historical importance! :P ;)
I'm not even going to talk about the paper mill of forms the restaurant owner had to fill out to even be allowed to make these changes.... :P
