With the 2022 Shenzhen Shopping Season in full swing, district-level consumer festivals have begun one after another, aiming to further encourage residents’ consumption.
This year, Luohu District launched its first nighttime fashion consumer festival to promote the night economy and introduce new night spending hotspots.
During the festival, various events are being held at its main venue at Dongmen Pedestrian Street, as well as at Yingbin Square, Shenzhen Theater, streets near Dongmen Yitang Service Apartment, and the Guiyuan and Renmin South areas.
The first Beer Festival and Hong Kong & Macao Food Festival are being planned, featuring beer, food and art toys. A traditional Chinese clothing show will be held at Sun Plaza & Department Store, while the Midsummer Light and Music Cultural Festival will be staged at Dongmenting.
