Beijing CPPCC member Song Weizu said, After the outbreak of the epidemic, citizens' demand for getting out of their homes has become stronger, especially when out-of-town tourism has not fully recovered, local parks and scenic spots have become the first choice for citizens' leisure and entertainment.
"I wear a mask all day at work, and I want to go for a walk in the park at night to get some air." Then, what kind of nighttime park space should the park provide? Song Weizu believes that the current lighting shows, night performances, food festivals, etc. are all good attempts, but they need to be carried out when the lighting and noise are minimized to the surrounding environment. "In fact, you can consider some activities or programs that have not fully recovered under the current epidemic, such as traditional culture such as opera and cross talk, and move them outdoors to attract citizens of all ages."
In addition, night activities in the park are not This is done simply by extending business hours and organizing temporary activities, but should be systematically considered, from the perspective of the six elements of "food, lodging, travel, shopping and entertainment", especially with the formation of the night economy around the park such as leisure, dining and shopping echo. Only by building a night tourism ecology together can it really play a role in boosting the "night economy".
