To Market

After attending our university's annual sports meeting (really just a school-wide track and field event), Turner and I walked around the old campus area known as Yushan. We were looking for some barbecue and stumbled upon a bustling market area down one of the side streets. I want to share some pictures to show the variety and quality of the produce in China that you can find just about everywhere, though certain things, like watermelons and strawberries, have their seasons.

Watermelons.

Green onions, baby leeks, any guesses?

Walnuts.

Various grains for sale.

Radishes.

Lajiao and huajiao--the spices of life.

The sweetest beans you've ever seen.

Can you imagine seeing such a pile of grape tomatoes at your local grocery store?

Mangoes by the dozens!


The Chinese know how to do peanuts.

White Radishes

Papayas
