Chongqing - The night economy is a vital part of the urban economy and a critical index to evaluate a city’s economic vitality. Like many other Chinese cities, Chongqing expects the night economy to drive urban industrial transformation and urban function enhancement. 

Chongqing features a distinctive climate and natural landscape, which constitute advantages for developing the night economy. Data shows that about 60% of the city’s urban consumption occurred at night in recent years. Chongqing has been shaping a “Chongqing-featured international sleepless city,” with efforts to offer supporting facilities, issue favorable policies, and optimize the business environment to boost the night economy, which has created an eco-system in the city, incorporating night tours, night views, night shows, night reading, night markets, night recreation, and night healthcare.
