HONG KONG - The government in Hong Kong is working to bring life back to its nighttime economy with night markets by the Harbourfront. Since starting in September, about 270,000 people have checked out these markets, as shared by Hong Kong's deputy finance minister.
However, there's no clear info on how much impact these events are having on the economy.
The government is focusing on malls, temporary night markets, and existing events from September's Mid-Autumn Festival to February's Lunar New Year. This period is usually busy for spending and tourism.
As part of this plan, over 80 malls are giving special deals, and public transport is offering fare discounts. The spotlight is on three night markets at Wan Chai, Sai Wan, and Kwun Tong harbours. Also, the Temple Street Night Market is set to reopen this month, but it might close earlier than the others due to being close to homes.
