<p>How does one say 热闹i in English? I did some google search and the possible candidates are  lively, busy, and noisy. The connotation of 热闹  is crowdness, happy, noise, and excitment. Busy street in my opinion lacks the element of excitment. Is it? Also, busy club should be improper to describe the scenario. Somehow I feel coldness about busy street where people wear suits and walk quickly to work with apathy.</p>

This question is off-topic here because it's about English. Anyway this one may fit: **Boisterous** adj. (of a person, event, or behavior) noisy, energetic, and cheerful; rowdy.

I would venture "bustling". The already suggested "vibrant" captures the positive connotation of 热闹 nicely, but it does not carry the same sense of crowdedness and (as a result) exertion.
