Every night, various business shops are brilliantly lit up and crowded with customers. Since the large-scale urban construction of Guilin City began in January 1999, by early 2001, the Zhengyang Street reconstruction project was completed, and Guilin opened its first modern pedestrian street in history. On this 666-meter-long pedestrian street, businessmen grasp the business opportunities, and it's common for cultural entertainment and catering stores to extend their operating hours. Even clothing stores often operate until 11 o'clock at night or even into the next morning. In summer, many citizens and tourists like to move their shopping and street wandering activities to the evening. According to Xinhua News Agency, Zhengyang Street is now hailed as the "First Street in Western China" by Chinese and foreign tourists. The picture shows the clock tower standing on the pedestrian street.
Other shopping malls include: Wangcheng Plaza; Bagui Tower; Xiyangyang Shopping Mall, etc.
