"I took my kid here to see the Oriental Pearl Tower. We just wanted to come and take a look. There are various kinds of food, rich in variety. Everyone has a place to stroll around in the evening, to buy food and drinks, and everyone is very happy," said a tourist surnamed He.
The pedestrian street also gathered more than 100 commercial and cultural brands. Visitors can engage in music events, sports, parties, and themed activities such as coffee and creative arts.

The United States is ramping up egg imports from Brazil as it is grappling with a severe supply shortage and soaring prices amid an outbreak of avian influenza, also known as bird flu.
According to data released by the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA), U.S. egg imports from Brazil surged by 93 percent year on year in February 2025.
Over the long term, demand for Brazilian eggs has shifted since January, with exports previously limited to pet food now expanding into broader use within the food industry.
"In the past, the U.S. only permitted us to export eggs for processing, primarily for pet food production. Now, however, these eggs are also used in the food industry, including the production of bread, cakes, and desserts," said Ricardo Santin, ABPA president.
U.S. egg prices have continued to surge due to a shortage of egg-laying hens amid the bird flu outbreak, adding continued pressure to inflation.
Egg prices have shot up 10.4 percent month over month and 58.8 percent year over year in the country, according to a March 12 report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
While the U.S.'s expanded egg imports from Brazil are currently viewed as an emergency measure, industry insiders believe there is potential for long-term trade cooperation between the two countries.
