Baisha Rural Market Day
What is the Baisha Rural Market Day?

Baisha is an ancient Chinese town, situated 8 kilometers outside of Yangshuo on the road to Guilin. This place is often a destination of the bike path along the river. Baisha is famous for cumquats, a citrus fruit, which look similar to orange. It exports them throughout China. The village transforms from a sea of green in summer to a golden orange one in November when the fruit ripens. Its picturesque landscape attracts photographers all year around.
Baisha town is known for its rural market days held on 1st, 4th, 7th, 11th, 14th, 17th, 21st, 24th or 27th of every month. The market here is relatively bigger than both Fuli and Xingping Market Days and provides a different perspective. Numerous shops are lined up at the sides of the street that not only offers a variety of fresh fruits like Pomelo’s, Oranges, Horse Chestnuts, Persimmon and Cumquats, shrimps, but also a numerous array of local handicrafts like hand painted decorative fans, Chinese landscape paintings embroidered decorative balls along with other craft items, textiles, stoneware and other attractive merchandise. It’s a perfect place to experience a traditional and local Chinese market |
