Lu You had expressed his feelings about Zhongshan road of Southern Song Dynasty: lighted nights are as bright as daytime; the hustle and bustle of the city is blown far by the east wind. How prosperous it is in the end? Wu Zimu of Song Dynasty wrote about the scene in the more detail way in his "Records on the Dream Beam"《梦粱录》. On the Hangzhou Street, the sales are incessant day and night, the street will not be empty until three or four in the morning, and by five o'clock in the morning, early market of another day starts!

Hangzhou plans to regain the exciting scenes of the Southern Song Imperial Street. Started from Wan Songling crossing north to Shiwukui street, the 1400 meter's Zhongshan road is to be built as China's longest night food market. We are trying to open the market to the public by the end of December, open time from 17:00 to 3:00 the next day.
