Sunday Market in Kaili

Miao Ethnic on Market

You can not miss the Sunday market, a market that is held every five days.

 

Actually, it is difficult to see local people dress in traditional costumes in the cities, or working in the rice paddies. 

 

For a whole set of silver ornament from head to toe, the dress matches different ages, it takes hours to put everything on!   You can only see them on big festivals.  

 

On this sunday market, you might have chance to see few of them.   The best time for photograph on the maket usually starts from 10am to 2pm.

 

Set along the river, the market retains its amazing size and atmosphere as well as many of its wooden homes and buildings.

 

The Miao and Dong Minorities from the surrounding villages endows the market with their unique characters. They put on their costumes and carrying shoulder poles trading in the market. One would feel that it is indeed not an ordinary market.

 

Herbal remedies are also available here. Rat poison vendor even display the dead rats to show the efficacy of the poisons. The local beautiful plaited bamboo baskets in every shape and size are waiting eagerly to find their new masters. The pottery jars, kites, paper money and incense are also sold in the market.
