China’s night-time economy is booming, with more than 60% of urban spending taking place after dark. But what is driving China's renewed night-time activity?

Across three major cities, we explore how a new generation is redefining the night, from 24/7 microdrama production in entertainment hub Changsha and world-record drone swarms in tech capital Shenzhen, to e-sport hotels in trendy Chengdu. We venture into tech shops that only sell the latest innovations, explore the renewed trend of 'Hanfu' - dressing up in traditional Chinese clothing - and venture into the forest at night with therapeutic walking groups, escaping the city grind.

With exclusive access, this vibrant series spotlights the inspiring entrepreneurs, creators and everyday citizens reshaping the night in the Middle Kingdom.
