BEIJING, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Beijing plans to build 10 food streets for night owls to eat in the next three years, said the city's commerce bureau.

By the end of 2021, about 10 business streets in Beijing will be upgraded and built for "midnight canteens," as part of the city's efforts to enrich its nightlife.

Beijing sees a strong late-time spending and a big market for late-night dinners, according to China's major food delivery platforms.

According to the city's government work report, Beijing will also urge malls, supermarkets and convenience stores to stay open later at night.
