　　6. The Forbidden City has a prosperous concept of "night tour", and night tourism may become a new potential to promote tourism development

　　The first "night tour" event recently started by the Forbidden City has shown a hot situation where tickets are hard to come by. In addition to the Forbidden City, many cities in China have launched themed activities related to night tourism.

However, the result of the coupling of the demand upgrade of consumer entities and the entrepreneurial innovation of market entities has greatly extended the tourism industry's view of time and space. Night tourism has begun to take shape and has become a new potential and new driving force for promoting tourism development in the future. (21st Century Business Herald)
