Playing bridge at a late 80s teahouse in Shekou’s Sihai Park is a welcome alternative to hanging at a coffee chain or one of Shenzhen’s luxury teahouses, if for no other reason than because there is enough room between the tables to create a sense of privacy. For those interested in social history, however, the teahouse also provides visceral insight into how consumption standards have changed in Shenzhen. Nostalgic impressions, below:

Looks beautiful! I’ve always wanted to learn how to play bridge. My grandma plays it and I think it’s one of the main reasons her mind has been kept super sharp.
Hi Nora,
I’m still learning to play and yes its fun. Also, I agree that it’s a generation thing. My parents played bridge socially, but at home we played canasta. I have since learned that when my parents were children in the Midwest, their parents and neighbors played canasta!
