In addition, the "Shanghai Trend Nightlife Guide" was released to provide consumers with diversified and accurate consumption strategies.
After three years’ development, Shanghai Nightlife Festival has become a unique and dynamic brand project among many benchmark projects of the "Fifth Five-Year Shopping Festival", which not only promotes the growth of night consumption and stimulates the economic vitality at night, but also fully demonstrates the unique charm of Shanghai as a 24-hour dynamic city.
As a local science and technology retail enterprise deeply involved in Shanghai, Meituan released the "24-hour Shanghai" night consumption vitality guide for the first time, and launched a number of trendy night consumption destinations in Shanghai featuring trendy gameplay, unique experience and 24-hour business around four sections.
According to the data of Meituan, since the beginning of this year, Shanghai’s night service consumption has generally shown the characteristics of strong overall consumption recovery momentum, great potential for late-night consumption and active development of new formats. From January to May this year, the scale of online consumer orders for night service in Shanghai increased by nearly 40% compared with 2021. After 22 o’clock in Shanghai, the night life service consumption accounts for 22% of the late-night consumption period.
Rich new consumption formats are an important embodiment of Shanghai’s "night economy" prosperity. Not only BFC Bund Maple Trail, Anyi Night Lane, Daxue Road and other theme markets or blocks have become good places for late-night consumption, but also new formats represented by 24-hour gym, 24-hour study room, 24-hour e-sports hall, 24-hour bathing hall and 24-hour pet house are booming.
According to the data of the US Mission, Nanjing West Road-Jing ‘an Temple, Nanjing East Road-People’s Square, Disney, Lujiazui-Yaohan and Wujiaochang-University Road are the top five business districts in Shanghai’s night life service consumption scale index. By the end of May, the consumption orders of 24-hour gyms in Shanghai increased by 179% compared with 2021, and the consumption orders of 24-hour study rooms increased by 118% compared with 2021.
During this year’s nightlife festival, the city’s activities are wonderful and rich.
