About this audio guide
This guide to Wushan Road Night Market in Hangzhou traces the market's path from folding tables of late-night snacks near Wushan Square in the 1980s to a flea market where collectors haggled over antiques, calligraphy and silk before dawn. It follows the vendors through repeated relocations as the city rebuilt around them, each move forcing sellers to rebuild a reputation from nothing. Long-time sellers today talk of that old prosperity mostly as memory, now that cheap clothing and phone cases fill more of the stalls. Walk the row at dusk as the trestle tables their grandparents once carried here go up again.
