Abstract  Urban public space is the main stage for citizens' everyday life, various space users quietly endow the space with cultural significance in the process of using the space, and they also constantly construct the spatio-temporal order of the sites with other actors in the encounter situation. Based on the theoretical perspective of spatial practice, this paper constructs an analytical framework covering identity, mobility and power. This article argues that street vendors endowed Kaifeng snack night markets with national and local characteristics. The emergence of the markets lies in the stimulation effect of Hui People who value highly of business, the alleys they live in become the gravitational fields of social interaction and neighborhood contact, inducing imitation by other Hui and Han residents in the community. The distribution of snack night markets is close to mosques, which indicates that mosques have commercial ripple effect on surrounding areas. As to the spatio-temporal order of the night markets, the formality of the sites is attached to the spatial boundary, and the occupancy of the space is presented in the time rhythm, a series of power operations of sites resources and the difference of location conditions. In a word, spatial practice builds a theoretical bridge between space users and urban space, which is helpful to explain the formation logic of meaning and order about space changes.
