Night market opens in front of the county government

Can you also set up a stall in front of the county government? The street vendors who were once chased by the city management did not have to hide. As long as they operated in an orderly manner, they could even be relieved to shout at the government gate, which has become a reality in Jixi County, Anhui Province

According to the Anhui Daily client, there is a night market in front of the Jixi County government, where vendors gather and bustle around at night. Traffic police and urban management are maintaining order and serving the public on site. Free parking is provided in the courtyard of the county government, and the government office building is open to the public. Vendors and night market visitors can enter to receive hot water and use the restroom

Why did a spontaneously formed night market survive in a healthier form next to the county government? What have local governments done to ensure the coexistence of order and "fireworks"

On December 22nd, Lu Donglin, Deputy Secretary of the Jixi County Committee and County Mayor, told The Paper (www.thepaper. cn) that this temporary market has been in existence for many years, and its specific location is on Yintan Road next to the Jixi County Administrative Office Center, with a scale of about two to three hundred meters. At the beginning, it wasn't as bustling as it is now, mainly frequented by the surrounding residents

"There is no threshold and no charge for setting up stalls here. Stalls have been set up there since they came, which is totally spontaneous." Lu Donglin said that as the hometown of Anhui Cuisine cuisine in China, Jixi County will hold a Anhui Cuisine cuisine culture tourism festival every two years. In recent years, there has been an increase in tourists visiting Jixi due to its reputation. Many out of town tourists living in the county town also take a walk and have a look in the county town at night, making this night market popular

Faced with the spontaneous popularity of night markets, Jixi County has chosen to support and encourage them, while also strengthening services and necessary management, laying the foundation for the further development of night markets.. Lu Donglin told The Paper that the location of the night market is not on the main road of the county town and will not cause large-scale traffic congestion. In addition, urban management and traffic police departments maintain order on site every day to ensure that vendors can operate in an orderly manner. At the same time, in order to reduce the adverse impact on surrounding residents, the county has also improved the infrastructure of night markets, prevented stalls from overflowing and occupying roads, and prevented noise disturbance to residents

In recent years, news about government departments opening up to the public and offering free parking has been gradually gaining attention. Jixi County does not have a unified system of hiding in small buildings. As a county government without walls, there is not only a temporary market here, but also citizens who dance square dances and exercise every night will set up their positions on the square in front of Jixi County Government

Lu Donglin told reporters from The Paper that the county tries to provide convenience for cultural and entertainment activities organized spontaneously by the masses on the square. All along, the county administrative office center has insisted on opening some outdoor parking spaces to the public. At night, the restroom and hot water room are also open to the public. Vendors and fitness enthusiasts who set up stalls at the entrance also come to the government building to use the restroom and turn on the water

Lu Donglin told The Paper that both the vendors at the temporary market in the government square and the citizens dancing in the square are generally very conscious and will end related activities before 9 pm in the evening. In winter, due to temperature reasons, they will end even earlier

Can citizens enter and exit the government compound without walls during the day? Lu Donglin admitted to The Paper that due to the lack of mass cultural activities during the day, there were not many citizens coming to the government building

But as long as citizens need it, they can enter the government building at any time to use the restroom and turn on the water. The security of the government building will also provide convenience and services to citizens through 'guided' inquiries Lu Donglin stated that whether providing convenience to citizens or allowing stalls to be set up on government roads, this kind of openness has become the norm in Jixi
