Speaking of Panjiayuan, a ghost market may conjure up in many people’s minds -- the former "Panjiayuan ghost market", which operated from wee hours to the dawn. It often happened that some people shipped there at three or four o’clock. However, as time advances, this place has gradually developed into a formal commercial street. The tradition of "night market" has been preserved.

When night falls, Panjiayuan Night Market, infused with culture, gradually reveals its more distinctive appearance with a unique temperament. Shops of Panjiayuan Night Market are mainly located in two areas: ① the east side of open-air stalls, ② the alleys in the middle of shops.

The night market is only held every Friday from 17:00 to 24:00, but many vendors start business at noon. Compared with other shops, the night market features a much younger overall style, including lots of handmade and daily necessities, like mobile phone cases, woolen flowers, small potted plants, and reverse photos.

From 20:00 to 22:00 is the busiest time in the night market. People are walking and hanging around. Some vendors and visitors even start live broadcasts. Flashlights are necessary for a night market. But, of course, vendors will prepare for that in advance, otherwise nothing can be done in the darkness.

Whether you are a senior player interested in jewelry, taking a chance to buy a precious item at a low price, or an ordinary tourist intrigued by TV dramas, hoping to see the real appearance of the "ghost market", Panjiayuan Culture Night Market can meet your various expectations.

Opening hours: Friday, till 12:00 midnight
