CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Local specialties, leisure and entertainment activities, handicrafts, trendy goods, cultural and creative products... night activities have become the first choice of many young people in Chongqing in hot summer. When the mild evening weeps over the streets in Yubei District, people prefer to walk around the block, achieving peace of mind or enjoying the boisterous city.

Yubei District has made continuous efforts to diversify the economic consumption pattern and upgrade several characterful night markets from traditional vendors to car boot sales. Those updated night fairs strengthen the integrated development of business, tourism, culture, and sports, accelerate market recovery, and offer opportunities for flexible employment.

The launch of Star Fair attracts numerous customers

Star Fair, located around SUPER NINE on Baotong Road in Yubei, has opened recently, attracting numerous customers.

The exquisite stalls under the delicate canvas umbrellas are carefully designed and decorated by the stall owners to present their characteristic products. They look like the twinkling stars in the night sky lighting up the whole marketplace.

Grilled fish, peppered rabbits, braised prawns, and other best-selling Chongqing specialties give off tantalizing aromas and satisfy the taste buds of customers. You can find a profusion of delicious food which cater to every taste here.

Moreover, special handmade products are favored by most customers. The innovative hand-woven handbags are practical and trendy, meeting increasingly high aesthetic standards. The flower shops are also inundated with customers, where gorgeous flowers create a romantic atmosphere.
As a commercial complex above the railway, SUPER NINE may affect about 100,000 permanent residents, as well as people from many universities and industrial parks nearby. The opening of Star Fair offers a fashionable and down-to-earth modern lifestyle to customers.

Bear Grandma’s Garden delights you with flowers and good food

Hidden in a quiet place, Bear Grandma’s Garden still attracts many customers in the night market. Some residents said they could view and purchase beautiful flowers during the day, and go shopping and enjoy fine food at night. When the 300-meter path is lit up with little lightbulbs at night, the stall owners start to set up a night market dedicated to night consumption.

In this night market, you can find all types of snacks from all over the country, such as handmade lemon tea, burgers, pork floss and seaweed rolls, soybean curds, and shrimp paste with mushrooms, as well as top-rated food on social media platforms like plum cakes and hot and sour rice noodles. Those stores are so popular that some customers are willing to line up for them.
We can see the longest queue in front of the stalls selling plum cakes and grilled meat. The plum cakes come in four flavors and sell at the price of 7 yuan or 9 yuan. As it takes more than ten minutes to make a plum cake, customers have to spend a lot of time in queues. The night fair offers more good food than you can imagine, such as "beauty" egg puffs, pancakes in the shapes of cartoon characters, and bowl rice puddings that look like the claw of a cat. The food here is affordable, and two people can get a decent meal for under 100 yuan.

Yubei Wuyue – Fair 19: a fun and trendy fair

Yubei Wuyue – Fair 19 is another good place for shopping in Yubei District. Over 60 stylish stalls are arranged in an orderly manner along the 200-meter square line, forming a glittering night view of the city. You can find interesting posters, decorative lights, a wide range of goods, and diversified shopping experiences here. Moreover, you can enjoy wonderful concerts and start your romantic nightlife with beautiful songs. (Translated by Yuki, Fathom Language Limited)
