There is a lifestyle called Yunnan | Go to Ma Street in Kunming for a market fair

| Go to Ma Street in Kunming for a market fair. The reasons why Yunnan tourism is popular, my analysis is: first, the climate is good; second, the scenery is beautiful and diverse, and the products are rich; third, the charm of multi-ethnic settlements. The way to combine the two is to go to the market. People in Yunnan are used to calling it "going to the street", and some ethnic minorities call it "going to the market". It is said that since the Ming Dynasty, rural markets in Yunnan have been formed, and they began to flourish in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and they have not declined to this day. If you travel to Yunnan and want to experience the market, you don't have to go to a distant countryside. You can do it in Kunming. One of the recommended places is Ma Street on Sunday. Once upon a time, Ma Street was the nearest and largest rural market from Kunming, and it was also the first market on the Tea Horse Road. With the development of the city, it was once cancelled. The current market is actually the Ma Street Agricultural Market, but it is not limited to the market, but is spread all over the surrounding blocks, and even the abandoned rails are full of temporary stalls. It is hard to say all about it after half a day. Fixed stalls + mobile stalls, the variety of goods sold is hard to count, agricultural tools, hand-woven hats, dried fruits, wild Chinese medicinal materials, wild vegetables, fresh chickens, ducks and fish, beef and mutton, etc., as well as fruits, local specialties, traditional snacks from all over the place... A "dazzling array", it's not just an adjective, just looking without buying is also a great satisfaction! Observing the various postures of buyers and sellers, watching the eating looks in front of various stalls, it is really enjoyable. The key words are: fresh, diverse, affordable, delicious, nostalgic, down-to-earth, and full of fun! 📍Detailed address: Ma Street Agricultural Market, Dayu Road, Xishan District, Kunming City 🚉Travel strategy: Take Metro Line 3 to "Dayu Road Station", or take bus No. 51 to "Dayu Road Station", and then walk or ride a shared bike to go. ⛺【Play Tips】: 1) Market date: Every Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm (11 am to 1 pm is the peak of popularity). 2) About food: I like mutton soup pot, rice noodles, pea powder, fried potatoes... walk around and see, whichever has more queues, just choose whichever. The following is a table of markets around Kunming City for reference: Monday: Dabanqiao, Wujiaba; Tuesday: Liu Jia, Haikou No. 200; Wednesday: Longtou Street; Thursday: Haiyuan Temple, Dabanqiao; Friday: Beiyuan Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, Shuanglong; Saturday: Mayuan, Chejiabi; Sunday: Xiaobanqiao, Ma Street. Among them, Mayuan is the closest and smallest; Ma Street is a bit far away, the scale is large, and you can go on non-market days; Haiyuan Temple is also very large, the local flavor is stronger, and you can watch the opera, like going to a temple fair.
