Cities across China have seen a prosperous nighttime economy during the current summer vacation season, with local authorities and enterprises launching diverse nighttime events to boost consumption.
In east China's Jiangsu Province, cities have initiated a series of new nighttime cultural and tourism activities. The Fantawild theme park in Huai'an City has debuted retro-style evening strolls and an upgraded summer fireworks display, with the maximum daily number of visits to the scenic spot topping 20,000, over half of which are attending in the evening.
Guiyang, the capital city of southwest China's Guizhou Province, has been receiving tourists from across China so far in the summer vacation season, with some coming to particularly appreciate its historic landmark Jiaxiu Tower, as well as local catering and night fairs. A nearby market named Qingyun reported 1.52 million visits to it in July, a sharp increase of 21 percent compared to the same period of last year.
"The nightlife here is so vibrant. Even at 10 or 11 p.m., many snack stalls are bustling. My travel experience here is also excellent," said a tourist named Geng Simin.
