At night in Chongqing, cruise boats shuttle back and forth on the Yangtze River, diners pack hotpot restaurants and tourists and locals flock to its central Jiefangbei Square as city life returns to its normal pace. Because of sweltering daytime temperatures and locals' passion for the nightlife, Chongqing has become known for its booming nighttime economy. It is estimated that more than 60 percent of Chongqing residents' consumption happens in the evening. China Daily photographer Wang Zhuangfei records the municipality's vibrant nightlife with his camera.
