"The Vientiane Mekong Night Market can be divided into three major parts, part of which is the inner side of the river embankment, similar to a long commercial street, with a stall with a pongzi, mainly selling various clothing, shoes, handicraft accessories, etc. The second part is on the outside of the river embankment, mainly snacks, catering, and some entertainment projects. The sign is a few decorations similar to the Ferris wheel. The third part is a few streets across the road. There are food stalls, roadside stalls, and some large-scale restaurants, French food, Korean barbecue, Chinese dumpling restaurant, etc. There are also some mobile vendors, a car is a shop. Before, the biggest and most lively place across the road was bought by Koreans. It is said that they want to develop commercial real estate, hang the Korean flag, block the stall, and now it is black. Southeast Asia, including our Xishuangbanna, Ruili and other places, has a large and lively night market, the main reason is the climate, the day is not hot, only the weather is cool at night, can go to the street."
