Yi River Views from Ruins Pub Rooftop

Photo Friday #30

Yi River Panorama from Ruins Pub

Where else to be on a warm, sunny and low pollution day in Linyi, China? I can’t think of a better place. This is the rooftop patio of Ruins Pub, a relaxed café/bar on the west bank of the Yi river. The DH and I like to sit up here and admire the views. Spring is the best time to enjoy the patio, before the heat, humidity and pesky flying bugs (gnats and mosquitoes) take over the place.

Details: To get to Ruins Pub and its sister café/bar, Water’s Edge, head east down Jie Fang Lu towards the river. Just before the bridge, hang a left onto Bin He Lu and you will see them almost immediately on your left. Ruins Pub has coffee, tea drinks and, sometimes, cold beer. If the beer is not cold when you arrive, ask them to stick it in the freezer. They’re used to laowai asking for cold beer. They also offer snacks and free wi-fi.

The entrance is very green
