Where is Wulin night market?

The Wulin night market adjacent to the West Lake can be said to be a "golden business card" of Hangzhou night economy, and it is also a place where many citizens and tourists must punch in.

More than two months ago, the southern section of Wulin Road where Wulin Night Market is located was upgraded, and the noisy night market life was temporarily suspended.

Wulin night market will return recently! The hourly journalist learned from the Wulin night market that the first batch of merchants will resume business on the evening of June 2; On June 3rd, the whole Wulin night market will be fully opened.

"For more than two months, we mainly relied on online orders."

As one of the first merchants to resume business, stall owner Liu Xiaoqing was very excited: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time. The Wulin night market has finally reopened, and the fireworks I miss are back!"

Liu Xiaoqing, a 36-year-old Anhui native, has set up a stall in the night market for the ninth year.

Before that, she worked as a manicurist and sold shoes ... She finally decided to be a small stall owner in the night market because she took a fancy to freedom.

Liu Xiaoqing's booth specializes in selling handmade ropes, including red ropes symbolizing luck, diamond-shaped knot ropes with complicated craftsmanship and elaborate necklace ropes ... "These handmade ropes can be completed in a few minutes to several hours. There are many tourists near the West Lake. These ropes are very popular with girls. When business is good, they can earn thousands of dollars a day. "

With his skills, Liu Xiaoqing has his own small home in Hangzhou. "Although it is midnight every time I go home, it is still very fulfilling to see that the fruits of my labor have been recognized by everyone."

In the past two months or so, there has been no post-stall and Liu Xiaoqing has not been idle. He has been taking orders online at home and doing business with old customers. "I have more than 2,300 friends on WeChat, mostly old customers. This period of time is mainly to receive some small orders, at least a little income, and the method is always more difficult than it is. "

Fortunately, during the two months when the night market was closed, the booth rent was free, which made Liu Xiaoqing feel less pressure.

She is looking forward to the opening of the market tomorrow. "There are already old customers coming to make an appointment. See you at the Wulin night market booth at 4 pm tomorrow! "

"I look forward to seeing the lively scene again and I want to catch up with the stall owners."

I went to school to take a Facebook art painting class, and I also volunteered ... In the days when there was no booth, Cao Zhilin lived a full life and spent more time with his family.

However, he still "feels empty in his heart and always feels that something is missing."

Masks and masks are commonly called "face ghosts" in Hangzhou dialect. Cao Zhilin, 59, is a non-genetic inheritor of "Hangzhou Face Ghost", and all kinds of materials, from fans to pottery blanks, are his "creation field". On weekdays, in the Wulin night market, the "ghost face" he painted on the spot always attracts the attention of many tourists.

"I have been setting up a stall in Wulin night market for more than two years, and I created it on the spot when I went out. When the business is good, a single order can earn five or six hundred dollars. " Cao Zhilin said.

As an old Hangzhou native, Cao Zhilin admits that his pressure is less than that of other stall owners. "In the past, in addition to participating in various activities, I also created Facebook at home, and some old customers would place orders. Let's face it with a normal heart. "

Cao Zhilin was still very excited after the news that Wulin Night Market reopened. "I feel that life is back on track. I not only expect the night market to return to the lively scene, but also want to catch up with other stall owners!"
