This Day, That Year

Item from Feb 23, 1987, in China Daily: Street vendors, crammed into the Quzhuang Overpass area of Guangzhou in southern China, conduct their business after night falls.

Night markets across the country continue to offer diners authentic - and sometimes exotic - street food that reflects rich culinary heritage and diversity.
