Recently, the situation is stable in Shanghai. Since June, theaters and nightlife have been up and running.

last Saturday,I hung out with my friends for a street market in the bund.
After the outbreak was crossing China, the street market offered an opportunity to eat, shop and watch artworks outdoors in the bund. People could enjoy the beautiful building lights of the bund, and taste delicious foods from all over the world.I felt like it is a throwback to when the city is known as the “Paris of the east” long long ago.

There were over 100 street stalls for food，beer and snacks.
And the graffiti art and street performances were the highlights all the night. Many street artists, bands, jazz concerts and Interactive performance were being held across the market.

you could enjoy the art performance, could play a game with a magician, could even decorate a truck with colors as a part of artists.

Also, a lot of bars were restored after shutting down over the past few years because of the residents’ complaint.

I guess this is a part of efforts to boost economy after the outbreak.
