The Shanghai Commission of Commerce will set up local night markets during next year's World Expo to improve the city's nightlife and solve traffic problems caused by illegal vendors. The commission plans to establish 50 featured streets for commerce, entertainment and leisure before the Expo, of which several would be picked as night markets.
"Those night markets would prolong their business hours and enrich the city's nightlife by providing entertainment, leisure, shopping and food," said Zhang Xinsheng, assistant director of the commission. The first pilot streets include Yunnan Road S, Yuyuan Tourist Mart and Wujiang Road. So far, Shanghai has no legal night markets.
