We visit a local market weekly, based efficiently underneath a highway. You can buy everything here, from kitchen equipment to fish. We usually buy our vegetables (biological!) and eggs here. This week I decided to take some pictures. You can find these markets everywhere across China. This particular market is developing fast. In half a year, the market closed down some underperforming market stands, invested in lights to display the food better, a roof and floor, and now also facilitates a bakery.

They have these all over Europe as well. Eastern European prices, I mean. ;-) I see them all the time across Romania, for instance.
