Wu Shan night market is one of the oldest night markets in Hangzhou with a history of several decades. The humanistic temperament and atmosphere here really give people a different feeling. Although the passage of time has changed people's pattern, here is a specific guide to raiders.

Wu Shan Night Market starts at 17: 3pm and ends at 22: pm every day.

Hang Cheng at night is a little different after all. Pedestrians are no longer in a hurry, the lights of buildings light up the stars, and the alleys in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River during the day wear red, green and neon clothes after sunset, showing a lazy appearance.

It's still early. The young people just got off work. I rode slowly to the night market. Interestingly, Wu Shan Night Market is not on Wu Shan Road, but moved to Renhe Road and Huixing Road. If outsiders look for it on Wu Shan Road, it may be in vain.

when I arrived at my destination at six o'clock in the afternoon, the vendors were busy tidying up and paving the road before they opened the door. I just had a chance to witness what they looked like before the stall opened.

The first impression is that the vendors are so young, and the immature spirit on many people's faces has not faded. They pushed carts and arranged the goods one by one devoutly, as if they were holding priceless pearls and agates instead of ordinary items.

The pavement is not large. A canopy is a small shop. There are two small white lights hanging in the canopy, which illuminate the canopy and the aisle in the middle. There are one or two bosses sitting in the canopy, with stalls in front of them, standing in rows, which is the most grounded commercial river and lake in China.

Wu Shan Night Market started in 1984. At that time, China was in the period of Vientiane renewal, and Hangzhou also took on a new look.

At that time, most night markets sold antique silks, both from China and foreigners. Blonde, blue-eyed foreigners linger in front of vendors and occasionally speak Hangzhou dialect. Dealing with foreigners is much more, and antique dealers can also speak a few words of English.

Later, Wu Shan Road was rebuilt and the night market was moved to Renhe Road. It's quiet here. This is not a main road, and there are not so many cars. Whenever night falls, this is the exclusive paradise of the night market.

The times are changing, and the night market is forced to "go with the flow". The goods on the sidewalk changed from antique Wan Wen to clothes, ornaments, shoes and socks. Shoppers are mostly girls, and vendors have replaced their products with women's products, such as nails, mobile phone cases, exquisite dolls, cosmetics and so on. It's dazzling and varied.

Of course, there will be seals, sandalwood and other antiques, but many young people are not interested, and now there will be no foreigners to visit.

there are about 4 stalls in Wu Shan night market, which are densely and orderly distributed. The space in the middle aisle is very narrow, and it's a little crowded for two people to walk side by side.

after 6 o'clock, the number of people who come to the night market to shop began to increase. Sweet lovers, pedestrians in twos and threes, people, and fireworks. The whole night market soon boiled, and customers talked to each other and bargained with each other.

Although stalls are very popular now, and there are some myths about creating wealth, on the whole, they are as plain as water. It is good for ordinary businesses to earn more than 1, yuan a month.

Talking to a stall owner, he said that he has set up a stall here for five years. People come and go, and they update quickly. Most of them are outsiders. An old face disappeared and soon a new one appeared. Exactly: Wu Shan's night market is teetering, and new people change old people every year.

Occasionally, there are rich kids who drive sports cars to set up stalls. For them, this is not a life, but a "practice booth." It doesn't matter whether they earn money or not, but they come to experience life.

Wu Shan night market was once famous for its high quality and low price. One hundred dollars can go shopping in one street, but not now. Customers have become young people, and the pursuit of things has become a trend. The night market began to pay attention to quality and personality. Special clothes and jewelry are very popular, and the prices are not much cheaper than those in shopping malls.

I like a mobile phone case. The transparent material is covered with all kinds of decorations, which are crystal clear and sparkling under the light. Want to buy, asked the price, the boss is a young girl, said 2 yuan without looking up.

I was taken aback.

Not only the goods but also the food have been changed. Accurately speaking, the food in Wu Shan night market has little to do with it, but is more like a series of snack bars around it. These small shops have racked their brains and launched online celebrity foods such as fried bananas and crayfish. Traditional Hangzhou food is hard to find here.

times are changing, and so are people's needs. Wu Shan Night Market has been set off fireworks for 36 years, and the price is no longer so grounded. Many people are worried that they will not appear again one day.

I think it will always exist. As the epitome of Hang Cheng night market economy, it is not only a fireworks street, but also a warm memory of many people.

when I left, I found someone playing a disc at the gate of the night market. Music rises in the moonlight, and when I look back, it is still the most lively world.
