For cities where tourism is relatively well-developed,
the food street is basically a place for tourists to gather,
and For cities where tourism is not a major industry,
food streets are unlikely to turn to tourists,
so in these cities,
food streets are instead for the locals,
where you can see the life of the locals.
In Dongguan, this food street is called:
Xin Guangming Market.
But since last September,
when the original open-air night market was moved indoors,
there has been a great deal of criticism.
Many people in Dongguan who used to go to the night market feel that
the stalls moved indoors,
lost their souls and "tasted bad".
Guancheng, the city center of Dongguan,
A canal runs through the city.
Like many cities in the tropics,
Dongguan's night market was forced out by the sun in the beginning.
Perhaps because the canal brought coolness to the hot and dry weather,
Dongguan's night market, no matter how it flows,
is near this canal.
Zhenhua Road, next to the canal,
is Dongguan's first generation of night markets.
In 2015, Zhenhua Road night market was banned,
and the second generation of night market,
is not far from Zhenhua Road, the new Guangming Plaza night market.
This is also on the street next to the new Guangming Market,
because it is wider than Zhenhua Road,
the second generation of the night market is more lively than the first generation.
And because Dongguan is a typical immigrant city,
the second-generation night market is also richer than the first:
From Zhanjiang seafood to Taiwanese wheel cakes,
from Xinjiang barbecued lamb to local barbecued pork ribs,
you have it all.
But the lure of the food court
is no match for the general trend of urban management.
After several closures,
the open-air night market was forced to go indoors,
and set up shop on the second floor of the new Guangming Market,
a third-generation night market.
This third-generation night market, with a shelter from the wind and rain,
also equipped with public **** tables and chairs and restrooms.
The second generation of night markets,
also moved indoors.
Everything seems to be a better choice,
so why do people think it's "tasteless"?
Moving the night market from the open air to indoors,
is a desperate choice.
From the first generation of night markets on Zhenhua Road,
a variety of hidden dangers buried in it.
Fire, health, traffic ......
Even if you like the night market and have feelings for it,
you can't avoid these hidden dangers,
and that's not even taking into account the impact on local residents.
The second-generation open-air night market has fewer hazards,
but it has never been able to pass the environmental hurdle,
This is one of the major reasons why it has been banned,
but also because it has no choice:
The night market is impossible to be clean and hygienic and environmentally friendly,
After all, many regular restaurants can't do it,
and it is difficult to ask every stall to do it,
The night market is a very important part of the city's economy.
After all, many formal restaurants can not do,
asking each stall to do, really difficult.
Although the night market has moved indoors,
it is fortunate for many stalls to have a place to stay.
Many cities, in order to win the battle for environmental protection,
would choose to shut down their night markets outright,
without even considering the livelihood of the night market vendors.
People who have never been to a third-generation night market,
but have heard some negative reviews,
will feel strange when they first arrive there:
The food "street" looks good,
Indeed, if you come to the second floor of the new Guangming Market for the first time,
it's a good place to eat.
Indeed, if you come to the second floor of the new Guangming Market for the first time,
you will be attracted by the colorful signboards,
as well as the smells coming from everywhere.
In addition to bringing together food from the south and the north,
the form of eating is also eclectic,
just when you think there are only barbecued chicken wings to be eaten on the go,
you'll suddenly see someone next to you eating hot pot.
There's also the occasional piece of trash on the ground,
but it's also cleaner and tidier than an open-air night market.
After strolling around, you may even wonder about those who criticize the indoor night market:
But if you walk out from the second floor,
you will suddenly understand those who criticize the indoor night market.
Because you'll suddenly feel a rush of peace,
and a sudden distaste for the noise upstairs.
That's the first thing that makes indoor markets inferior to open-air:
the same amount of volume for the same number of people,
and that's what managers don't take into account,
the difference between open-air and indoor:
open-air can accommodate more disorder,
and that same disorder, if framed indoors,
might seem even more disordered. > may seem even more disordered.
Even indoor night markets may be more disorganized now,
because in an open-air night market,
the vendors provide their own tables and chairs for their customers,
you don't sit with the chicken wing eaters at a hot pot,
it's a little noisier in front of the barbecue stalls,
but it's relatively quiet in front of the Pottery Barns.
But now the public **** seating breaks things up,
less up and down, but noisy everywhere.
Originally, the open-air night market was moved indoors,
in addition to the pressure of environmental protection,
but now it is clear that this has not been done,
so that the diners neither get a better experience,
but also lose the original pleasure,
after all, in the open-air night market,
the smell of barbecue permeates the air,
But now the night market, the most appetizing flavor,
are sucked away by the extractor fan.
While diners understand the environmental context,
and know that they can no longer smell the fireworks,
there's more to it than just the "loss of soul" comment.
If the night market experience is brought indoors and not enhanced,
old-time diners are doomed to abandon the place.
And that's the new challenge for managers.
