Fruit tea, toys, handicrafts(手工艺品)...Walk out of your home and go to a night market when the sun sets and you’ll feel as if the day just begins.

New kinds of night markets have come out all over the country. Some of the markets have the same opening hours, others have a pop-up style. Bringing in the latest fashions or copying ancient(古代的) Chinese markets, they have become very popular with young shoppers.

The night market at Xixili street in Haikou, Hainan has attracted many people. Different from more traditional night markets, “you can see pet culture(文化), handmade culture and other popular subcultures,” said Wang Yaqi to China Daily, who is a student from Hainan University.

Xu Dongjie, a pet stall(摊位) owner at the market, told Xinhua that more people are interested in her pets than at her pet shop. For her, being part of the market is also a way to make friends with pet lovers.

In a night market, people can also have a taste of traditional culture. At a night market held in Haikou, 30 stalls brought back the look of streets during the Song Dynasty. Stall workers decorated their stalls and dressed up in the style of that period.

Many cities are trying night markets to make the economy(经济) better. The “Night Touring of Qinhuai” project in Jiangsu has become a local hot spot. In Chongqing, one night market is full of stalls set up in the trunks(后备箱) of cars.

“Shoppers enjoy the night market, and at the same time, it builds up the confidence of stall workers. It brings more jobs.” Liu Jiangyong, an official from Chongqing, told Xinhua.

The government has encouraged businesses to develop a night-time economy(经济). Night markets play a big part in the night-time economy. The term “night-time economy” can be dated back to the 1970s in Britain. It means all economy activities that take place between 18:00 to 6:00 the next day. This kind of economy activity began to take shape in China’s coastal cities as early as the 1980s.
