The next morning we went to the Xingping market. Any day of the
month that ends with a 3, 6, or 9 is a market day in Xingping. It is a very
active market and the town becomes very busy in the mornings, folks from
many of the smaller neighboring villages come in by boat, bus, or trucks to buy
and sell their products or produce.
There are also many services offered at the market. Below are some
pictures of old town Xingping and the market.
