A nighttime bazaar has been launched along Suzhou Creek in Hongkou District to create a demonstration of the cultural and tourist attractions on the North Bund.
The Embankment Origin fashion market opens at 5pm every weekend on Beisuzhou Road along the creek, featuring music, wine and traditional hanfu traditional Chinese costumes.
Handmade clothes, cultural souvenirs and daily commodities are available at many stalls along the pedestrian-only street, as well as food and street performances.
“The newly unveiled nightlife market aims to develop a comfortable public space during the ongoing development of the North Bund,” the Hongkou District government said. It is expected to become one of the most popular social and entertainment attractions on the North Bund.
At the opening session of the market this month, 50 models wearing hanfu walked among visitors and posed with them. Street artists and musicians presented live performances. Wine and alcohol from both home and abroad were available.
Suzhou Creek flows through six Shanghai districts and 180 years of the city’s modern history. Its redevelopment has given citizens a continuous 42-kilometer pedestrian corridor along the creek.
Beginning at the intersection of Suzhou Creek and Huangpu River, people can stroll along 900 meters of walkways next to the creek that flows through Hongkou.
The Beisuzhou Road walkway, opened in December, is one of the most scenic segments of the longer creekside path, featuring many preserved historical buildings with the former glory of the region.
