2023-06-28

The night markets in Beijing this summer are particularly lively. Citizens who went to enjoy the nightlife mentioned that there were too many people visiting the night market at 798 Art Zone, and when they tried to hail a ride-hailing car to go home at ten o'clock in the evening, they had to wait for half an hour and still couldn't get one. "The queue shows dozens of people ahead", they said.

The unprecedented enthusiasm for offline cultural and entertainment activities is the main reason for the bustling crowds in the major night markets in Beijing. The crowded night market has become a paradise for stall owners and vendors. "To catch the excitement of the night market, you have to sell more. I heard that some (stall owners) can make tens of thousands in a single night." said a barbecue stall owner. Obviously, many inspiring "wealth legends" are spreading among these stall owners, and many people are also trying to strive for wealth in night market economy during the summer.

At nine o'clock in the late night, the 798 Night Market is brightly lit and filled with smoke and excitement. Several clearly divided streets are crowded with various snack vendors and consumers who come to search for food. There are even long queues in front of some popular stalls. The night market offers a wide variety of snacks, including Guangdong rice rolls, pan-fried baozi, iron plate squid, and other snacks commonly found in tourist attractions nationwide, as well as alcoholic beverages, which are popular among young trendy crowds. In addition to numerous snack stalls, there are also sales of cultural and creative dolls, as well as small stalls selling perfume.

At the same time, coinciding with the Oracle Bone Culture Festival in the 798 Art Zone, besides delicious food and drinks, and doll jewelry, there are also archaeological games and ancient-style dressing, creating a lively cultural market that takes you back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
