Brands such as Forever Bicycles, Sugar Master Desserts, Hanshan Ceramics and Yishuijian Flower Art will launch pop-up stores at the alley during the event. Outdoor movie screenings and traditional Shanghai-themed performances will also take place.
Baoshan aims to enrich nighttime consumption options and enhance the nighttime economy by exploring vibrant and fashionable nighttime scenes, especially along the Huangpu and Yangtze rivers, according to the district government. Residents are invited to vote for their favorite nighttime hot spots in Baoshan.
Additional new consumer scenes, redeveloped from its former iron-steel and heavy industrial sites, will be explored to tap into more brand resources to create a trendy destination for nighttime consumption, the district government said.
