OK – I know that I’ve posted photos from the market before (2014, 2015), but it’s so “culturally rich” that I just feel a need to do it again. Here are some of the things that we saw as we walked through the market on Thursday. It’s Mid-Autumn Festival, so there were a lot of people selling discount mooncakes (~2 RMB each):
It’s also the season for walnuts, so there are people cutting off the husks and selling them in the shell:
In some sections of the market, there are opportunities for low-cost health care, such as budget dentures:

As we’ve said before, when you come for a visit, be sure to come on a Thursday to enjoy the market!
I imagine you can get all sorts of fresh vegetables & nuts… would be a paradise for those in the US who are into that sort of thing. (Minus the gutter oil)
