Tourists come here to buy souvenir-things spaciously displayed on hundreds of stalls, enjoy traditional art performance, taste mouthwatering dishes served in little wards, or simply wander around to savor the bustling atmosphere of the night market.
However, a limited number of small food stalls whose foods does not match the hygiene standard and service quality is poor. A change is needed.
