Living in Dali | First Encounter with the March Street Market Gathering

First Encounter with the March Street Market Gathering. Departing from Shanghai, taking a train to Kunming, then transferring to a high-speed train to Dali. Called a taxi to the hotel I booked, planning to return to Shanghai before the National Day holiday. The hotel is located on Yuxiu Road outside the ancient city, a very quiet street, backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing Erhai Lake, with a terrace on the third floor where you can drink tea and enjoy the view. I've been to Dali twice before, and so-called living here is just relaxing and not deliberately going anywhere. But the next day, I heard there was a market gathering on March Street, which was my first encounter because the market days are fixed a few times each month, so it's better to be lucky than to choose the day, and I went there happily. When I got there, it was really lively, the whole street was almost filled with stalls, food, clothing, goods, and the cries of vendors were non-stop. There were many locals, all in high spirits, full of regional characteristics. What I was interested in, of course, were the fruits, cheap and good quality, I bought watermelons (one yuan per jin) and mini bananas (ten yuan for three jin), so sweet! What's even better is that I took a lot of portraits, full of the thick atmosphere of life, love it! It's very convenient to get to March Street, there's a bus stop right at the door. Note, the market gathering days are on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd of each lunar month.
