Asakusa New World

Every holiday, the area around Zhengxing Street and Guohua Street is incredibly lively. Asakusa New World, situated within this bustling district, has become a popular gathering place for young people interested in creative and cultural markets. The origin of Asakusa New World dates back to 1933, when Japanese merchants built shops around Ximen Market, calling them "Asakusa Bazaar". However, after the renovation of Ximen Market, a "Ximen Asakusa Secondhand Market Project" was initiated to revitalize the commercial district and attract a younger demographic. This, combined with various marketing activities, successfully drew crowds and invigorated the surrounding business area. On holidays, in addition to the vibrant and creative secondhand market gatherings, there are also performances by street artists. Asakusa New World has become an indispensable and unique cultural feature of Ximen Market, continuously injecting creativity and vitality into the area.
