At the Lantern Festival in the Year of the Rabbit, a street opening ceremony and a happy Lantern Festival were held at Wuxiang Road Night Market in Nanning, Guangxi. Wuxiang Road Night Market is a key night economy project in Liangqing District. The project is located in Wuxiang Road, Jinxiang District 3, Dashatian Street, Liangqing District, Nanning, and the subway line 2 is direct. The night market street is about 5 meters long.
