CGTN, 31 Aug 2022
#Changsha, the capital city of #Hunan Province, offers an eclectic mix of entertainment. But #nightmarkets are a must-go that bring travelers closer to local culture. The largest one is Yang Fan, which translates to "setting sail." Up to 100,000 visitors roam the market at its peak. Hundreds of vendors line the streets stretching a kilometer, offering a mouth-watering collection of snacks, as well as toys, cheap clothes, souvenirs and almost anything that one can imagine. Night markets are new drivers of China's booming night-time GDP, which was estimated at $5.2 trillion last year and is still growing at double-digit rates. Join CGTN on a binge-eating journey inside Hunan's largest and decade-old night market to see why this remains a sizzling destination.
