BEIJING, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Chongqing, a city by the Yangtze River, is called "stove" by Chinese people because of its high temperature in summer; Cairo, located on the bank of the Nile, has long been a hot place on the edge of desert. Both cities have been vigorously promoting the night economy.
Hongyadong in Chongqing is an ancient city gate that has been transformed into a giant suspended building featuring restaurants and other entertainment venues.
Khan el-Khalili in Cairo, the centuries-old marketplace, is considered one of the most important tourist attractions in Egypt.
Every day when the night falls and summer heat dissipates, locals and tourists enter the streets and lanes in both cities and enjoy the flourishing night life.
