盛世之夜 不容忽视的中国夜经济

Night-time economy

当夕阳在楼宇间徘徊,打工族的下班时间到了。人们从写字楼里、从各个角落冲上大街,挤进地铁、踏上公交、钻进私家车,共同组成浩浩荡荡的城市晚高峰。19点30分,夜幕低垂,灯火闪烁,一个与白天截然不同的、放肆而躁动的世界便亮起来。21点30分,北京三里屯酒吧的狂躁电音,上海淮海路的梦幻霓虹.

When rays of the sunset wander around buildings in the flourishing country at nightfall, it’time for white-collar workers to get off work. People rush to the street from every corner o office buildings and get on a bus or a private car or are squashed into a subway train. The constitute the city’s evening peak. At 19:30, it gets dark, and lamps begin to light up. Then, an unbridled and restless world which is totally different from that in the daytime, lights up. At 21:30, stories that belong to the night appear: lobsters in the south and barbecues in th north;crazy electronic music in bars on Sanlitun Bar Street, Beijing;fantastic neon light on Huaihai Road, Shanghai;the traditional night fair in Dali Old Town, Yunnan;and lonel ness and noisiness on Bakuo Street, Lhasa…At the night that seemingly never ends, peo ple spend their time in different ways. Behind their laughs and dissipation is the explosiv growth of China’s night economic consumption index.
