China's nighttime economy is projected to reach $5.7 trillion this year, and the capital of Hunan Province, Changsha, is a trendsetter. What used to be a southern agricultural heartland now offers an eclectic mix of entertainment options. Dozens of night markets offer a mouthwatering array of distinct street flavors. Fantastical souvenir stores that present plenty of insta-worthy moments, and replicas of old neighborhoods promise to take visitors decades into the past. In the era of instant deliveries, perfect images and glitzy high-rises, the raw hustle and bustle of an old street can be refreshing. In 2022, slow and rustic seem to be the new cool.
