They are cafes and "social clubs".

Have you noticed that more and more cafes like to set up long tables for more than ten people to sit around? At first, it may have been because of the need for someone to have a meeting in a cafe or a large group of friends to get together, but later, the long table played another role, which was social.

A survey showed that 82% of Chinese people agree that cafes are the best social gathering places, and 43% of Chinese female respondents spend more than an hour drinking coffee and chatting with friends on average. Coffee shop owners are aware of this importance.

"A long table that can accommodate more than 10 people is different from a four-person table. It is easy to create table sharing behavior." The owner of a cafe said that when young people sit together like this, they inevitably collide and resonate with each other when they talk about some topics, and they will communicate and know each other."This kind of offline social interaction is much more reliable than using WeChat, Momo and the like."
