Ingenious handicraftsmen create bizarre artworks here, graffiti artists paint whimsical patterns here, and young people with novel ideas usually hold fun gatherings with both trendy and retro aspects.

Compared with other trading scenes, street markets display more diverse goods, attract a wider range of audience, and offer stronger interactive experiences, thus often called "the show stage for common people".
