I have long wanted to upload some photos and videos from the Chinese market, where we occasionally bought something from seafood and fruits. First of all, this place is interesting because everything there is somehow very Asian, that is, very, very out of date. When you get to that quarter in Lingshui, you seem to be transported 100 years ago. Old authentic buildings, birds in bamboo cages, worms and pigskins on the stalls, many people and not a single foreigner. And you won't think that literally a couple of kilometers from here there is quite a European shopping center with boutiques and supermarkets and the same condominiums.

The market itself is a few streets in a residential area, and along these streets there are stalls with all sorts of things. But the very center of the market is the courtyard of several houses, there are shopping arcades and the most interesting thing. Photos from there.
One of the streets next to the market
The houses here are all authentic
Streets and market
Street vendors
The same courtyard is the center of the market
The first thing that catches your eye is the slop under your feet
Next to meat and seafood stink
And here they are, seafood treats
My favorite is worms
Something else from the sea
Birds are sold live, they sit in cages
It's not very clean around them either.
I bought a goose and carried it home
Market scales with weights
And finally - a dismembered woman
