Nighttime Economy

by Li Zhuoxi

Nighttime economy refers to business activities conducted between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the service sector including shopping， catering， tourism， entertainment， education， film and other leisure activities.

In its work report to the annual session of the Beijing Municipal Peoples Congress in 2019， the Beijing Municipal Government proposed measures to boost consumption in the nighttime economy and encourage major commercial districts， shopping malls， supermarkets and convenience stores to extend their business hours appropriately.
