Facing Kao Rou Ji restaurant across a narrow strip of the Qianhai lake is Buddha Bar, a bite-sized carbon copy of the other bars in the area. Lounge seating, antique chairs, sofas and kitschy wall hangings all set to a trip-hop/acid jazz soundtrack. A second location has just opened up a little ways up the lakeside.
