Director of Economic Development Liao Taixiang said that night markets are not only deeply rooted in citizens' daily diet, but also a representative landmark that domestic and foreign tourists must visit. In order to create a comfortable consumption area, the city government has actively promoted the improvement of the night market's hardware environment in recent years, including adding grease traps, updating entrance imagery, setting up pedestrian traffic barriers, and updating toilets. It also continues to provide guidance to stall vendors on self-management of food safety and the environment.
The Wonderful Good Market Coupon will run for four consecutive weeks on October 10, 17, 24 and 31. The "Good Market Bag Walk" plastic reduction event will be launched simultaneously on-site, and festival-limited reusable bags will be distributed to deepen citizens' implementation of the green consumption concept of bringing their own bags.
