夜市（ナイトマーケット）

Night markets are a vibrant part of food and commercial culture across mainland China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. They typically open from dusk until midnight or later. Taiwan's night markets are internationally renowned. In mainland China, night markets have revived in many cities as a key driver of evening-economy consumption (夜间经济). Common offerings include local street food, snacks, clothing, and accessories.
