The specific market type you visit will depend upon the corresponding date as each market only operates on a certain date - this will be advised in advance. See the farmers travel from all around the region on different dates to sell their produce and fresh vegetables. There’s nothing to ‘buy’ as it’s more of a rural market but a good insight into life in the countryside and into what used to be common everywhere in China! |
