Panjiayuan Ghost Night Market: Old Beijing’s Hidden Folk Culture

One of the most mysterious and fascinating traditions in Beijing is Panjiayuan’s Ghost Night Market — a midnight treasure-hunting scene that has existed for decades.

What is the Ghost Market?

The name comes from an old tradition: vendors used to arrive before sunrise, set up stalls in dim light, and trade vintage items quietly. It felt like a “market of ghosts” — hence the nickname.

When is it open?
