A
Night markets play a big part in the night-time economy(经济). "Night-time economy" can be dated back to the 1970s in Britain. At present, our Chinese government has called on more companies and shops to prolong(延长) shopping hours to attract(吸引) more shoppers.
New kinds of night markets have come up across the country when the sun sets and you'll feel like that the day begins. Some of the markets have regular(有规律的) opening times. But others have a
pop-up style. They only show up sometimes at a certain period of time when some activities are organized. Bringing in the latest fashions of clothes or handicrafts(手工艺品), they have become very popular with young shoppers.
Xu Dongjie, a pet stall(小摊) owner at the market, said that the number of visitors there was much bigger than that at her pet shop. For her, being part of the market is also a way to network and make friends with pet lovers.
Many cities have also tried their own ways of night markets. The "Night Touring of Qinhuai" in Nanjing has strong local colour and has become a popular hot spot. In Chongqing, one night market is full of stalls set up in car trunks(后备箱). Shoppers enjoy the night market, and at the same time, it gives those who are trying to look for jobs more chances to make a living.
