"We want to make this a place where you can relax," said Onishi. "We want costumers to come in, have a drink, eat some chips and enjoy themselves."

Twilight is a mix of class and modern design. Although brighter and equipped with a television, Twilight is a place where patrons are afraid to raise their voice for fear of breaking the atmosphere of elegance.

It is this simple elegance and tranquility that make even the patrons of the quiet bars want to be quiet. And with the city and the rest of the world caught up in the noise of World Cup celebrations and loud sports bars all over the place, a jing bar offers to its clientele something truly golden, silence.

Twilight can accommodate about 40 customers. [China Daily]
