A temporary night market was recently set up on the Huizheng Old Street in Ningbo's Fenghua district.

The market, slated to run until Aug 4, features light shows and a host of stalls selling snacks and trinkets.

Following its renovation in 2017, Huizheng Old Street is currently home to 60 stores engaged in catering, lodging, education, entertainment and intangible cultural heritages.

The night market is part of efforts by the local government to raise the old street's profile and stimulate nighttime consumption.
