Liuzhou and Changsha are actually similar to the Internet celebrity city, we learned about this place in Liuzhou from the Internet, and many of our classmates have also been to this place, we just ate snail duck foot pot and herbal tea, which is not available in Changsha, very characteristic of Liuzhou.
Wei Liu, who has been operating a snail and duck foot pot business here since 2020, said that the business of the night market was not as "hot" as it is now, but it was a little deserted. At the beginning of 2023, Liuzhou City, which is "out of the circle" due to snail powder, attracted a large number of tourists to visit, and the passenger flow of the Fengqing Port Convenience Night Market doubled, and Wei Liu's business continued to be booming.

Now the flow of people is very large, especially the number of foreign tourists, but (we) have taken a series of measures to merge the evacuation and diversion of people, and the whole market is now in order. We also have an agreement with the traders that the original price cannot be increased because of more customers, and (to) attract more tourists to our Fengqing Port Night Market at a price that is close to the people, safe and hygienic.
【Commentary】And "behind" the crowded night market, the amount of garbage is also increasing dramatically. The Liuzhou Urban Management Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau focused on key areas such as urban streets and "net celebrity" check-in points, requiring more cleaners and law enforcement personnel to be dispatched on the evening shift, and taking a number of measures to ensure the quality of environmental hygiene during the festival.
