(Are both grammatical?)
Both are now correct, yes.
Yes, both sentences are grammatically correct. However, there is a slight difference in meaning between the two sentences.
In the first sentence, "Wangfujing Street in Beijing is crowded day and night," it implies that Wangfujing Street is consistently crowded throughout both the daytime and nighttime.
In the second sentence, "Wangfujing Street in Beijing is crowded night and day," it implies that Wangfujing Street is crowded primarily during the nighttime, but also during the daytime.
So, you can choose the sentence that best conveys the level of crowding on Wangfujing Street based on the specific time period you want to emphasize.
