Asia

★ In the Chinese capital of Chang'an the West Market and East Market were closed every night 1 hour and three quarters before dusk (by government-ordered curfew), yet night markets thrived in residential areas. The local government attempted to shut the night markets down in this year, but with the decline of the government's authority by the mid 9th century, this edict (like many others) was largely ignored as urban dwellers kept attending the night markets regardless.
