When night falls and the street lights go on, a dozen cars arrive at an open outdoor space. Drivers open their car trunks and set up stalls outside their vehicles.
They are selling handmade cakes, coffee and iced drinks, as well as other inexpensive goods out of trunk, while customers relax nearby in camping chairs, listening to live bands and enjoying the soft summer evening.
Car boot fairs have emerged as trendy play this summer in cities across China. Young people have been yearning to go outdoors after being homebound due to COVID-19 restrictions, spurring consumption and economic opportunity for the resourceful.
